Explore Edgerton, 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 Edgerton, 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 Edgerton.
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.

Edgerton occupies a quiet expanse of prairie where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed under the immense clarity of the Midwestern sky. It lies 31.8 miles west-northwest of Worthington, MN (from Worthington, MN: bearing 303°T), and is situated 15.7 miles north-northeast of Luverne. Chanarambie Creek carves a persistent, winding path near the settlement, its waters moving with a deliberate, low-key vitality through the soil. To the west, the subtle rise of Buffalo Ridge breaks the monotony of the plains, acting as a permanent sentinel that catches the long, amber light of sunset. Those who traverse the local roads might spot the distant, serene reach of North Mound Creek Pool, or wander into the quiet thickets of Poplar Creek State Wildlife Management Area to observe the seasonal shift of grasses and the arrival of birds. The air here holds a crisp, dry quality, particularly in the autumn, when the temperature drops with a sudden, honest finality that reminds the traveler of the vast, open geography surrounding them.
Edgerton grew from the steady labor of early settlers who recognized the potential in the deep, fertile earth, transforming the landscape into a landscape of patterned fields and reliable harvests. Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, driving the rhythm of the days as tractors move across the fields and grain elevators stand as tall, utilitarian monuments to the seasonal cycle. The cultural character of the place is built upon a foundation of quiet industry and a neighborly reliance that persists through the long, deep winters. Traditions are maintained with a matter-of-fact grace, and the social life of Edgerton centers on the small, daily interactions that define a life lived close to the land. Even as the seasons turn and the color of the fields shifts from the vibrant green of spring to the muted, golden tones of harvest, the underlying sense of continuity remains the most constant feature of the locale.

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.
