How to Use This Angus, Minnesota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Angus, Minnesota. 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 Minnesota 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 Angus.

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 Angus, Minnesota

Angus is a locality in Polk County, Minnesota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 180. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Angus is located at 48.0811°N, 96.7031°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 56762, 56728.

Angus emerges from the flat, expansive horizon of the Red River Valley as a quiet sentinel of the northern plains, where the sky claims more territory than the earth itself. It lies 18.7 miles northeast of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 55°T), and is situated 18.2 miles northeast of East Grand Forks. The landscape around Angus is defined by its unrelenting levelness, a vast expanse of fertile soil that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Altamont Moraine. When the light of late afternoon slants across the furrows, the fields take on a bruised, metallic luster, revealing the sheer scale of a geography that feels both ancient and exposed. Though the South Branch Snake River winds through the lower reaches eight miles away, the dominant sensation here is one of terrestrial gravity, an unadorned surface that demands a patient temperament from those who dwell upon its reach.

Agricultural ambition serves as the primary pulse of Angus, echoing a legacy of settlement that prioritized the immense productivity of the dark, heavy loam. Prosperity here is measured by the harvest and the steady, rhythmic maintenance of the grain elevators that stand as the singular vertical assertions against the sky. While the quietude of the region suggests a meditative isolation, the proximity to Miscellaneous, a nearby SRMA, offers a deliberate pause in the cycle of cultivation where the native prairie grasses reclaim their original sovereignty. Life in Angus moves with a deliberate, seasonal cadence, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers, finding its character in the resilience required to endure the long, frost-bound winters that turn the world into a study in monochromatic stillness.

About This Angus Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Angus, Minnesota. Coordinates: 48.081085, -96.703118. 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 Angus includes the ZIP code (56762, 56728), telephone area code (320), county seat of Polk County (Crookston), 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.
