Explore Cyrus, 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 Cyrus, 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 Cyrus.
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.

Cyrus sits upon a flat, expansive plateau where the horizon pulls the sky tight against the earth, creating a vast openness that defines the western Minnesota prairie. It lies 25.5 miles southwest of Alexandria, MN (from Alexandria, MN: bearing 223°T), and is situated 8.7 miles east-northeast of Morris. The Chippewa River carves a deliberate, winding path through the landscape, its banks providing a sliver of green relief against the golden, worked soil of the surrounding fields. Only a mile away, the quiet surface of Lake Cyrus catches the pale, northern light, reflecting the shifting clouds that drift across the plains. To the west, the distant rise of Blue Mounds breaks the monotony of the flatlands, offering a subtle anchor for the eye, while the Pope County Waterfowl Production Area stretches out as a sanctuary of tall grasses and marshy stillness, where the rhythmic calls of migrating birds mark the passing of the seasons.
Cyrus carries the quiet weight of an agricultural history, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest that have sustained the region for generations. Scandinavian influences remain etched into the local character, visible in the modest brickwork of older buildings and the pragmatic, hardworking spirit that governs daily life. The pace in Cyrus is dictated by the seasons, moving from the intense, focused labor of autumn threshing to the long, contemplative silence of deep winter. Here, the community exists as a series of long-standing connections, where the commerce of the grain elevator and the local shop keeps the pulse of the place steady. Even as the modern world shifts, the fundamental identity of Cyrus remains rooted in the dark, fertile loam and the enduring, clear light of the prairie.

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.
