Explore Breezy Point, 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 Breezy Point, 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 Breezy Point.
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.

Breezy Point occupies a landscape defined by the quiet, glacial architecture of the North Woods, where the dense canopy of the Crow Wing State Forest creates a verdant backdrop for the regional terrain. It lies 17.9 miles north of Brainerd, MN (from Brainerd, MN: bearing 358°T), and is situated 4.5 miles east-northeast of Pequot Lakes. The land around Breezy Point holds a stillness that deepens as the sun dips low, casting long, amber shadows across the water of Shaffer Lake. To the west, the subtle, jagged silhouette of the Cuyuna Range interrupts the horizon, a reminder of the geological upheaval that shaped these plains. Nearby, the modest waters of Pelican Brook trace a path through the landscape, feeding the low-lying wetlands that characterize the Miscellaneous SRMA, where the air often carries the sharp, clean scent of pine needles and damp earth.
Breezy Point emerged from a history of seasonal industry and the enduring legacy of the regional resort culture, which transformed the local economy from its early reliance on the timber trade into a destination for those seeking the solitude of the interior. The cultural character of Breezy Point remains rooted in a pragmatic, Midwestern resilience, reflecting a heritage that respects the long, severe winters and the brief, brilliant intensity of the summer months. Residents here navigate a life governed by the changing seasons, balancing the requirements of a tourism-driven economy with the quietude of a permanent settlement. Throughout the year, the atmosphere in Breezy Point retains a deliberate pace, favoring the simple, functional rhythms of a community that understands its place within the vast, wood-lined expanse of the Minnesota interior.

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.
