How to Use This Erie, Michigan Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Erie, Michigan. 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 Michigan 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 Erie.
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 Erie, Michigan
Erie is a locality in Monroe County, Michigan, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,800. The population density is 55.0 people per km². Erie is located at 41.7942°N, 83.4963°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Detroit) timezone. ZIP code: 48133.Erie stretches across a flat expanse of fertile farmland where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the occasional cluster of silos and the sturdy, dark silhouettes of barns. It lies 9.9 miles south-southwest of Monroe, MI (from Monroe, MI: bearing 211°T), and is situated 9.5 miles north-northeast of Toledo. The land here is defined by a deep, quiet persistence, with the waters of Bay Creek carving a slow, deliberate path through the heavy soil just a mile away. At the edge of the property lines, Maplewood Park provides a rare, quiet sanctuary of green, offering a place where the wind moves through the trees without the interference of heavy machinery. Only two miles distant, the expansive presence of Lake Erie influences the climate, tempering the bite of the air and casting a pale, reflective light over the fields during the long, gray afternoons of late autumn.
Erie grew from the steady labor of those who cleared the timber to turn the earth, establishing a rhythm of life dictated by the planting and harvest seasons that still anchors the local economy. While the reach of industry from the north often hums in the distance, the pace of daily existence here remains tied to the soil and the legacy of the families who first broke the ground. Far to the south, the distant profile of Calers Ridge serves as a faint, jagged reminder of the broader geological shifts that shaped this region, though here the terrain stays stubbornly level. The pride of Erie is found in this endurance, a quiet commitment to the land that persists despite the changing demands of the modern world, maintaining a character as solid and unyielding as the clay beneath its roads.

About This Erie Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Erie, Michigan. Coordinates: 41.794214, -83.496323. 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 Erie includes the ZIP code (48133), telephone area code (313), county seat of Monroe County (Monroe), and school district assignment.
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.
