Explore Perry, Michigan, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Perry, 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 Perry.
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.

Perry occupies a quiet expanse of mid-Michigan landscape where the horizon remains flat and expansive, broken only by the silhouettes of silos and the occasional rise of Hog Island in the distance. It lies 10.7 miles east-northeast of Haslett, MI (from Haslett, MI: bearing 59°T), and is situated 18.2 miles east-northeast of Lansing. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial stillness, untempered by the moisture of any distant coast, carrying instead the scent of damp earth and turning leaves. Within the village limits, Veterans Memorial Park offers a steady, manicured green space that anchors the daily movement of residents, while the surrounding topography yields to the gentle drainage of Perry Number Two Drain, which winds its way through the nearby fields. Even at two miles out, the waters of North Lakes provide a subtle, reflective contrast to the heavy, fertile soil that defines the regional character, grounding the locality in a geography of plains and working woodland.
Perry maintains a rhythmic pace dictated by the seasonal shifts of an agricultural legacy that transitioned into a modern, commuter-linked economy. The infrastructure of the locality echoes the industrious spirit of its founding, where the railroad once served as the primary artery for local commerce and trade. Today, the focus remains on a modest, steady vitality, with businesses and schools serving as the primary points of social gravity for those who call the area home. The sunlight at dusk often catches the high, open sky, turning the grain fields and the local thoroughfares a muted, bruised purple, a reminder that life in Perry is defined by the quiet endurance of the land and the persistence of its people.

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.
