How to Use This Danvers, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Danvers exists as a quiet anchor upon the vast, open expanse of the Minnesota prairie, where the horizon stretches flat and wide under a sky that feels immense and unburdened. It lies 36.2 miles west-northwest of Willmar, MN (from Willmar, MN: bearing 288°T), and is situated 7.7 miles west-southwest of Benson. Judicial Ditch Number Eighty cuts a purposeful, straight line through the surrounding earth, its banks often softened by the seasonal rush of snowmelt and the persistent growth of tall, wind-bent grasses. Two miles to the north, the Danvers State Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of wilder terrain, providing a stark, untamed contrast to the orderly grid of the local fields. The air here carries the scent of turned soil and dry stalks, particularly as the low, amber light of late afternoon catches the dust rising from gravel roads, casting long, lean shadows that emphasize the profound stillness of the plains.

History in Danvers is written in the geometry of the land and the endurance of those who cultivate it, their lives dictated by the turning of the seasons and the heavy, reliable rhythm of agricultural labor. The local economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding fields, where grain elevators serve as the vertical landmarks of a horizon otherwise defined by the earth’s subtle, infinite flatness. While the distant, muted silhouette of Blue Mounds marks the edge of the world to the west and the quiet waters of Lynch Lake wait six miles away, the daily pulse of Danvers is measured by the slow shift of agricultural cycles and the resilience of a community that has long thrived in the heart of the interior. Even in the deepest stretches of winter, when the frost settles into the ground, the spirit of the place remains fixed, defined by a stoic patience that mirrors the wide, unyielding landscape.

About This Danvers Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Danvers, Minnesota. Coordinates: 45.281905, -95.751984. 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 Danvers includes the ZIP code (56231), telephone area code (320), county seat of Swift County (Benson), and school district assignment (Benson 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.
