Explore Annandale, Minnesota, 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 Annandale, 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 Annandale.
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.

Annandale sits upon a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of glacial earth, where the horizon is composed of long, low ridges and fields that turn from the vibrant green of early summer to the muted, straw-colored gold of the harvest. It lies 13.7 miles west-northwest of Buffalo, MN (from Buffalo, MN: bearing 297°T), and is situated 6.4 miles west-northwest of Maple Lake. The sky here possesses a vast, open quality, often filling with a silver-gray light that seems to hold the weight of the coming winter long before the first frost arrives. Within the immediate vicinity, the land is punctuated by the waters of Lake John, which reflects the shifting clouds, while the modest, winding path of French Creek cuts through the surrounding soil, carving a slow, deliberate route through the terrain. Residents find a quiet center at Memorial Park, a space that serves as a communal anchor where the cooling air of late afternoon settles over the grass.
Annandale draws its character from a history of settlement that relied on the fertile promise of the plains and the industrious spirit of those who built their lives amidst the timber and the water. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, balancing small-scale commerce with the steady, quiet labor of agriculture that has defined these plains for generations. The people maintain a heritage that honors the endurance required to thrive in a climate of extremes, where the winter chill is a familiar companion and the brief, brilliant summers are met with a focused intensity. Life in Annandale moves with a measured pace, favoring the reliability of routine and a deep, unspoken connection to the land that sustains the community through the turning of every year.

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.
