How to Use This Dresbach, Minnesota Map

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

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.

About Dresbach, Minnesota

Dresbach is a locality in Winona County, Minnesota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 272. The population density is 111.1 people per km². Dresbach is located at 43.8869°N, 91.3468°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 55947.

Dresbach occupies a narrow, deliberate shelf of land where the earth yields to the insistent, wide-reaching current of the Mississippi River. It lies 18.2 miles southeast of Winona, MN (from Winona, MN: bearing 126°T), and is situated 8.3 miles northwest of La Crosse. The landscape rises sharply from the water’s edge, where the limestone bluffs of Pea Ridge cast long, cooling shadows across the valley floor as the sun dips low. To the east, the water broadens into the expansive, glassy surface of Lake Onalaska, reflecting the shifting violet hues of a Midwestern twilight. Beyond the immediate riverbank, the terrain transitions into the quiet, terrestrial folds of Brice Prairie, a space defined by the deliberate, slow-moving pace of the seasons and the heavy, fertile silence of the inland plains.

Dresbach retains the quiet gravity of a place that grew in the wake of the river trade, its history etched into the limestone foundations of its older structures. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the river, with the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife And Fish Refuge providing a vast, protected corridor for the migratory life that defines the region’s natural character. Residents move with an awareness of the landscape’s demands, often looking toward the horizon where the distant Coulee State Experimental Forest marks the deepening woodland. While the Long Lake Canoe Trail offers a path for those seeking the quietude of the backwaters, the essential spirit of Dresbach resides in the enduring, steady connection between the people and the singular, sweeping geography of the river valley.

About This Dresbach Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dresbach, Minnesota. Coordinates: 43.886874, -91.346803. 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 Dresbach includes the ZIP code (55947), telephone area code (218), county seat of Winona County (Winona), and school district assignment (La Crescent-Hokah 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.
