Explore Duluth, 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 Duluth, 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 Duluth.
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.

Duluth rises with a rugged, vertical intensity from the cold, deep expanse of Lake Superior, its streets climbing the steep slopes that define the local terrain. It lies 6.4 miles east-southeast of Hermantown, MN (from Hermantown, MN: bearing 105°T), and is situated 4.3 miles north of Superior. The physical character of the landscape is dominated by the vastness of the water, which exerts a cooling influence on the air and creates a unique maritime atmosphere despite the northern latitude. Inland, the land transitions into wild, forested plateaus and rocky outcrops, with the nearby Moose Mountain providing a distant, imposing silhouette against the horizon. The proximity to the Duluth Harbor Basin Northern Section ensures that the rhythm of the place remains tethered to the shifting moods of the water, while the nearby Buckingham Creek carves a quiet, persistent path through the surrounding woodland.
Settlement in Duluth traces back to the convergence of indigenous traditions and the subsequent arrival of explorers seeking the riches of the interior. The founding of the place was spurred by the promise of natural resources and its strategic position at the head of a massive inland waterway, which transformed it into a vital link for the growing nation. Over generations, the labor of iron miners, loggers, and maritime workers forged a resilient identity, reflecting the hard-won character of those who chose to make a life in such a formidable climate. This historical arc, marked by the steady development of piers and rail lines, remains visible in the enduring architecture that lines the older sections of the streets.
Economic vitality in Duluth is anchored by a complex interplay of industrial production, shipping logistics, and a burgeoning service sector that supports the surrounding region. The presence of significant educational institutions, such as the University of Minnesota Duluth, brings a consistent influx of youthful energy and research activity that balances the traditional heavy industries. Infrastructure projects continue to modernize the waterfront, bridging the gap between the historic working docks and the needs of a contemporary workforce. As the seasons cycle through the long, deep winters of legend, the local economy pivots, relying on a blend of specialized manufacturing and the steady flow of goods moving through the harbor, all while maintaining a pragmatic, industrious pace.
Cultural life in Duluth finds expression in the vibrant activity centered at Bayfront Festival Park (Playfront Park), where residents gather throughout the year to mark the changing seasons. The local affinity for both college sports and outdoor recreation creates a community that is deeply engaged with the natural world, whether by navigating the trails near Hearding Island or enjoying the quiet stretches of the shoreline. Bob Dylan remains the most widely recognized individual associated with the origins of the area, his influence lingering in the creative spirit of the local arts scene. Landmarks define the visual experience, but it is the persistent, cool light reflecting off Lake Superior that stays with the traveler, casting a sharp, crystalline clarity over the daily life of the people who call Duluth home.

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.
