In order to locate people in emergency situations and to facilitate rural postal delivery, every residence and place of business in Bayfield County (except the City of Wasburn and City of Bayfield) has been assigned a county street address. This address is made up of two components - an address number and a road name. The assigned address will provide the information necessary to pinpoint a location on a map.

Remember: East/west roads use
numbers 1,000 to 38,000; north/south roads use numbers 40,000 to 96,000,
and address numbers get larger going north and east.

The address number is a four or five
digit number based on a grid of 1,000 numbers per mile. The grid
starts at the southwest corner of the county. A predominately
east/west road will be numbered using the numbers on the East/West grid of
1,000 - 38,000. A predominately north/south road will be numbered
using the numbers along the North/South grid of 40,000 to 96,000.
Even numbers are on the north and east sides of a road; odd numbers are on
the south and west sides of a road.
