Explore Centerville, 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 Centerville, 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 Centerville.
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.

Centerville unfolds across a landscape defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Clearwater Creek, which traces a path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 1.6 miles east of Lino Lakes, MN (from Lino Lakes, MN: bearing 83°T), and is situated 8.7 miles east of Blaine. The horizon remains wide and open, holding the quiet promise of the North Woods just beyond the familiar, flat expanses of the local prairie. Centerville Lake anchors the immediate surroundings, its surface reflecting the long, pale light of late afternoon that seems to stretch across the water like a thin layer of silver. Within the borders of Cornerstone Park, the earth retains a damp, cool fragrance, and the seasonal shift toward winter turns the grasses into a brittle, golden expanse that rustles under the persistent push of the wind.
Centerville carries the weight of a quiet, industrious history, where the rhythms of the day remain tied to the land and the modest commerce that supports the neighbors who live here. The economy has long moved past its earliest agricultural roots, yet the town maintains a steady pulse, shaped by the practical needs of a population that values the stillness of the interior plains. While the distant silhouette of Sunset Hill provides a faint landmark on the western horizon, the true character of the place is found in the everyday persistence of its people, who navigate the deepening chill of the year with a practiced resilience. During the long months when the frost settles into the soil, the influence of the region's Scandinavian heritage becomes palpable in the warmth of the hearths and the deliberate, unhurried way life continues amidst the gray, expansive sky.

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.
