Explore Beaver Creek, 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 Beaver Creek, 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 Beaver Creek.
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.

Beaver Creek serves as a quiet anchor upon the vast, open expanse of the southwestern prairie, where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the sun whole. It lies 38.4 miles west of Worthington, MN (from Worthington, MN: bearing 270°T), and is situated 8.1 miles west-southwest of Luverne. The eponymous Beaver Creek carves a deliberate, winding path through the local topography, its banks flanked by grasses that ripple like a slow-moving tide under the relentless prairie wind. To the west, the distant profile of the Cactus Hills breaks the monotony of the plains, providing a jagged, hazy silhouette against the deepening violet of the evening sky. The air here carries a crisp, dry weight, untempered by the humidity of distant forests, and the soil beneath the surface remains a deep, fertile black that demands careful stewardship. Those seeking the quiet solitude of the wild can find respite at the nearby Springwater State Wildlife Management Area, where the land is left to its own rhythm, undisturbed by the mechanical hum of modern industry.
Beaver Creek remains a place defined by the steady, cyclical labor of agriculture, a tradition that has anchored families to these fields for generations. The economy persists through the rhythm of the harvest, with grain elevators standing as sentinels that mark the arrival of the rail line and the movement of the season’s yield. Beyond the immediate reach of the fields, the landscape is punctuated by the deep, geological scars of Devils Gulch, a reminder of the ancient forces that shaped this terrain long before the first homesteads were staked. Even as the modern world encroaches, a certain stoic resilience defines the local character, a temperament forged in the long, biting winters that settle over the plains with absolute authority. Life in Beaver Creek unfolds with a deliberate, unadorned quality, where the primary concerns remain the health of the crops, the changing of the light, and the enduring strength of the community that gathers in the shadow of the grain silos.

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.
