Explore Arden Hills, 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 Arden Hills, 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 Arden Hills.
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.

Arden Hills emerges from the gently sculpted landscape of Minnesota as a place defined by its quiet composure and deep, inland stillness. It lies 2.0 miles south-southwest of Shoreview, MN (from Shoreview, MN: bearing 193°T), and is situated 7.1 miles northeast of Minneapolis. The terrain around Arden Hills is characterized by a deliberate, patient geography, where the land rises into subtle swells that catch the thin, pale light of late autumn afternoons. Just a mile away, the surface of Lake Johanna reflects the shifting gray of the sky, its waters holding the stillness of a region far removed from any restless coast. Three miles distant, the winding path of Rice Creek cuts through the earth, a modest artery that feeds the local ecosystem. Beyond the residential avenues, the John H Allison Forest provides a dense canopy of shade, while Freeway Park offers a modest, immediate expanse of green space for those who walk its paths.
Industrial ambition and a history of steady development have shaped the economic character of Arden Hills over many decades. The local economy relies on a blend of corporate headquarters and professional services, providing a modern foundation that balances the legacy of earlier, more agrarian days. While the memory of the North Woods remains a distant, atmospheric influence on the state's identity, the focus here is on the deliberate, functional organization of commercial corridors and office complexes. Businesses thrive in the quiet spaces between the arterial roads, drawing on the industrious spirit that defines the broader Twin Cities region. This purposeful arrangement of space ensures that the daily rhythm of work remains steady, mirroring the industrious nature of a population that values both productivity and the preservation of their immediate environment.
Cultural life in Arden Hills is marked by a refined sense of privacy and a commitment to the landmarks that define its identity. Residents often gather near the accessible trails or look toward the horizon where the distant silhouette of Sunset Hill rises against the darkening sky. While the grander, rushing waters of Saint Anthony Falls are reachable by a short trip, the local character is better reflected in the quiet, suburban intimacy of the neighborhood. Notable figures such as the renowned author F. Scott Fitzgerald have left an indelible mark on the broader regional consciousness, though the town itself maintains a more understated, contemporary presence. Community events provide a rare, vibrant pulse to the calendar, offering moments where the quiet streets fill with the sound of neighbors connecting beneath the expansive, open prairie sky.

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.
