Explore Brevik, 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 Brevik, 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 Brevik.
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.

Brevik occupies a quiet expanse of the North Woods where the horizon is defined by the heavy, dark mass of timber rather than the rise of distant peaks. It lies 37.2 miles west-southwest of Grand Rapids, MN (from Grand Rapids, MN: bearing 254°T), and is situated 33.8 miles west-southwest of Cohasset. The landscape around Brevik remains dominated by the expansive, cold waters of Leech Lake, which dictate the rhythm of the seasons and the movement of the air. To the west, the silhouettes of the Sugar Hills offer a faint suggestion of elevation against the sky, while the thick vegetation of the Battleground State Forest encroaches on the edges of the clearing. A traveler might find that the light here, filtered through the dense canopy and reflected off the surface of Leech Lake, possesses a clarity that makes the late afternoon shadows stretch long and sharp across the cooling earth.
Brevik maintains a steady, deliberate pace that reflects a long heritage of logging and the seasonal ebb and flow of the local economy. The proximity of the North Country Trail provides a silent, linear passage through the wilderness for those who prefer the solitude of the woods, while the nearby flow of Whipholt Creek serves as a reminder of the constant, quiet drainage of the basin. Economic life remains tethered to the natural resources of the region, where the work of the day is often performed in the open air or within the modest structures that populate the landscape. Life in Brevik persists with a sturdy independence, shaped by the weight of winter and the brief, vibrant intensity of the growing season, leaving the residents to cultivate a resilience that is as deep and unyielding as the soil itself.

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.
