How to Use This Donnelly, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Donnelly stretches across the flat, expansive horizon of the western Minnesota prairie, defined by the quiet passage of Twelvemile Creek as it cuts through the earth. It lies 33.4 miles west-southwest of Alexandria, MN (from Alexandria, MN: bearing 246°T), and is situated 8.6 miles north-northwest of Morris. The landscape around Donnelly remains open and vast, where the sky claims more space than the land itself and the light at dusk turns the tall grasses into a pale, shifting copper. Harstad Slough anchors the immediate terrain, its low waters reflecting the immense, cloud-streaked heavens that dominate the view. To the east, the ground rises toward the distant, faint silhouette of Runestone Hill, while the nearby Stevens County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for the migratory birds that mark the changing seasons with their rhythmic, high-altitude calls.

Agriculture serves as the lifeblood of Donnelly, with grain elevators rising like stark monuments against the gray, heavy curtains of winter clouds. The history of the region is deeply rooted in the endurance of those who broke the stubborn prairie soil, building a life defined by the rigorous, cyclical demands of the harvest and the long, silent freeze of the cold months. Life in Donnelly moves at the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the economy remains tied to the fertility of the surrounding black soil and the resilience of a rural population. There is a particular, austere beauty in the way the town maintains its quiet dignity, standing firm against the wide, unobstructed winds that sweep across the plains from the Hazzard Lakebed and beyond.

About This Donnelly Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Donnelly, Minnesota. Coordinates: 45.690516, -96.012556. 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 Donnelly includes the ZIP code (56235), telephone area code (320), county seat of Stevens County (Morris), and school district assignment (Morris Area Public Schools).

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.
