How to Use This Wiota, Wisconsin Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wiota, Wisconsin. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Wisconsin or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Wiota.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Wiota, Wisconsin

Wiota is a locality in Lafayette County, Wisconsin, United States. It is a small community with a population of 71. The population density is 13.7 people per km². Wiota is located at 42.6367°N, 89.9526°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 53587, 53541.

Wiota reveals itself through the quiet persistence of the Feather Branch as it cuts a path through the limestone-heavy earth of the Driftless region. It lies 6.2 miles east of Lafayette, WI (from Lafayette, WI: bearing 85°T), and is situated 9.0 miles east-southeast of Darlington. The landscape around Wiota consists of ancient, unglaciated ridges and deep, verdant hollows that hold the morning mist long after the sun has climbed above the horizon. To the west, the land dips toward the shadows of Jockey Hollow, while the horizon is anchored by the distant, rounded silhouette of Squirrel Grove Mound. In the autumn, the air grows sharp and thin, smelling of drying corn husks and the damp, iron-rich soil that defines this topography, far removed from any coastal influence.

History in Wiota is written in the stubborn endurance of early lead-mining settlements and the subsequent transition to the rhythmic, labor-intensive cycle of dairy farming. The local economy remains tethered to these fields, where the golden light of late afternoon catches the silos and weathered barns that dot the terrain. Residents often find respite in the nearby Yellowstone Wildlife Area, a expanse of protected grasses and timber that preserves the wild character of the land. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, a quiet continuity that persists even as the nearby waters of Apple Canyon Lake mirror the changing sky.

About This Wiota Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wiota, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.636671, -89.952624. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Wiota includes the ZIP code (53587, 53541), telephone area code (715), county seat of Lafayette County (Darlington), and school district assignment (Black Hawk School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
