Explore Bertha, 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 Bertha, 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 Bertha.
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.

Bertha anchors the landscape where the flat, fertile plains of the upper Midwest transition into the dense, shadowed woodlands of the north. It lies 30.4 miles north-northeast of Alexandria, MN (from Alexandria, MN: bearing 30°T), and is situated 12.6 miles south-southeast of Wadena. County Ditch Number Fifteen carves a deliberate, straight-edged path through the black soil, its waters acting as a quiet artery that drains the fields and dictates the rhythm of the surrounding meadows. Seven miles to the east, the silhouette of Mount Nebo rises as a modest, singular interruption to the horizon, while the cooling influence of Pendergast Lake draws a thin, persistent mist over the low-lying grasses during the early hours. The air here holds a crisp, singular clarity in the autumn, smelling of dried corn husks and the damp, cooling breath of the earth as it prepares for the long, deep dormancy of winter.
Bertha emerged from the ambition of pioneers who saw potential in the thick timber and heavy loam, establishing an economy rooted firmly in the yield of the land. Grain elevators rise above the streets like sentinels, marking the town’s enduring reliance on the harvest, while the nearby Miscellaneous SRMA offers a preserve where the original character of the wild remains largely undisturbed by modern encroachment. Daily life moves with a steady, unforced pace, shaped by the cycles of the seasons and the shared heritage of families who have worked these fields for generations. Even as the sun dips behind the distant trees, casting long, violet shadows across the stubble, the spirit of the place remains fixed in the quiet, industrious persistence of those who call Bertha home.

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.
