The south pole is a single point, with no size, so I have to pick a point in
Wisconsin. Let's say Madison.
If one of the Earth's poles were in downtown Madison, right at the corner of
S Blair St and E Washington Ave, then the other one would be located at 43.079° south latitude
90.621° east longitude. That point is in the Indian ocean, about 1,570 miles southwest of Perth, Australia,
1,620 miles north of the Antarctic coast, and 3,510 miles south-southeast of
Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Sadly, this kind of question never produces a very interesting answer, because
most of North America 'maps' antipodally into the Indian Ocean.

If Wisconsin were the South Pole, then the North Pole would be located at the exact opposite side of the Earth, which would be near Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere. The North Pole is the northernmost point on Earth, while the South Pole is the southernmost point.
It would be closer to the Equator, but just barely. Madison, Wisconsin is about 185 miles south east of Cadott, Wisconsin. Cadott is pretty much exactly half way between the North Pole and the Equator.
The distance from Wisconsin to the North Pole is approximately 2,000 miles if you were to fly directly north. If you were to walk, ski, or travel by other land methods, the distance would be longer due to the need to navigate around obstacles and bodies of water.
A freely suspended magnet will align itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will point towards the geographic north pole, and the south pole will point towards the geographic south pole.
The North Pole is at 90 North & the South Pole is at 90 South.
