Explore Dennison, 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 Dennison, 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 Dennison.
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.

Dennison remains a quiet point of stillness amidst the sprawling, fertile topography of the Upper Midwest, where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed under a vast, pale sky. It lies 7.0 miles east-southeast of Northfield, MN (from Northfield, MN: bearing 120°T), and is situated 9.6 miles southwest of Cannon Falls. The land around Dennison is defined by the steady, patient work of wind and weather, manifesting in expansive fields that shift from the deep, rich brown of early spring soil to the heavy gold of late summer grain. Two miles away, Prairie Creek cuts a slender, winding path through the earth, its waters tracing the low-lying contours of the terrain with a persistence that echoes the slow, cyclical nature of the seasons here. While the distance to the distant West Florence Ridge is great enough to render the mountains a mere hazy suggestion on the far edge of sight, the immediate landscape feels complete in its own humble, agrarian scale.
Farmers have long shaped the character of Dennison, their lives governed by the demands of the soil and the fluctuating rhythms of the regional grain economy. This legacy of diligent labor is mirrored in the nearby Warsaw State Wildlife Management Area, where the native grasses and quiet thickets remain largely undisturbed, serving as a reminder of what the plains looked like before the plow arrived. Though the bustle of commerce has drifted toward larger centers, the people of Dennison maintain a steady, unpretentious pace, finding value in the quietude that settles over the fields long before the winter frost arrives. Those who wander seven miles out might find the waters of Lyman Lakes, yet the true spirit of the locality is found in the everyday persistence of those who call these plains home, living in harmony with the changing light that colors the prairie at dusk.

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.
