How to Use This Buckman, Minnesota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Buckman, 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 Buckman.

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.

Buckman anchors the flat, sprawling expanse of the central Minnesota prairie, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a sky that shifts from pale morning violet to a deep, bruised gray. It lies 19.8 miles north-northeast of Sartell, MN (from Sartell, MN: bearing 16°T), and is situated 14.0 miles east-southeast of Little Falls. Buckman Creek carves a quiet, meandering path through the terrain, its banks lined with brush that catches the amber light of late afternoon, providing a steady, low-voiced accompaniment to the stillness of the fields. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the landscape yields to the damp, wild reach of the Coon Lake Marsh State Wildlife Management Area, where the earth softens into a complex mosaic of grasses and reeds. On days when the air turns crisp and thin, the faint, distant silhouette of the Ripley Esker rises against the western sky, a reminder of the ancient geological forces that once shaped this quiet interior basin.

Buckman persists as a sturdy vestige of agricultural heritage, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of commerce and the turn of the soil. The economy remains rooted in the productivity of the surrounding acreage, with silos and steel sheds serving as the primary architecture of the local industry. Just a mile away, the presence of Coon Lake provides a subtle, reflective center for the neighborhood, its surface often glassy and undisturbed by the passing hours. Life in Buckman moves with a deliberate, measured gravity, reflecting a history of endurance and the quiet labor of those who have long worked this land. There is a specific, enduring quality to the light here as it filters through the trees during the long autumn, illuminating the weathered wood of old barns and the steady, unpretentious character of the people who call this place home.

About This Buckman Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Buckman, Minnesota. Coordinates: 45.897466, -94.0936. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Buckman includes the ZIP code (56364, 56317), telephone area code (320), county seat of Morrison County (Little Falls), and school district assignment (Pierz Public School District).

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.
