How to Use This Emily, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Emily occupies a landscape where the dense, brooding timber of the Emily State Forest gives way to the stillness of Lake Emily, a body of water that holds the sky in a mirror of flat, unruffled gray. It lies 28.2 miles north-northeast of Brainerd, MN (from Brainerd, MN: bearing 24°T), and is situated 14.6 miles east-northeast of Breezy Point. The terrain here is defined by a glacial patience, marked by low, hummocky rises that soften the horizon long before one reaches the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cuyuna Range. Nearby, the Little Pine River cuts a quiet, persistent path through the undergrowth, its movement barely audible against the hushed backdrop of the North Woods. In the autumn, the light turns thin and sharp, catching the amber needles of tamaracks and casting long, spindly shadows that stretch across the frost-hardened earth.

Emily carries the quiet weight of a history built on the extraction of resources and the slow, steady persistence of those who worked the land and the nearby iron-rich soils. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the seasons, moving from the quiet industry of forestry to the seasonal influx of visitors drawn to the wilderness of the Miscellaneous SRMA. Life in Emily follows the cadence of the long, deep winters, where the community retreats into the warmth of woodstoves and the enduring legacies of Scandinavian and Ojibwe heritage. It is a place where the stillness is not an absence of life, but a deliberate presence, demanding a certain stoicism from those who choose to remain when the temperature drops and the world tightens into white, crystalline silence.

About This Emily Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Emily, Minnesota. Coordinates: 46.769011, -93.980502. 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 Emily includes the ZIP code (56447), telephone area code (320), county seat of Crow Wing County (Brainerd), and school district assignment (Crosby-Ironton Public 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.
