Explore Evansville, 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 Evansville, 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 Evansville.
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.

Evansville holds a quiet stillness within the vast, glacial plains of western Minnesota, where the horizon stretches wide under a sky that seems to possess its own immense gravity. It lies 16.8 miles west-northwest of Alexandria, MN (from Alexandria, MN: bearing 299°T), and is situated 27.0 miles southeast of Fergus Falls. The land here is defined by a slow, rhythmic contour, shaped by ancient ice that left behind a fertile, dark loam and the distant, shimmering surface of Horseshoe Lake. To the east, the water of the Chippewa River traces a thin, dark line through the grasses, while the Douglas County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for the migration of wings across the prairie expanse. In the distance, the elevation of Inspiration Peak breaks the flatness of the terrain, offering a solitary point of reference against the pale, shifting colors of the afternoon light.
Evansville remains a product of the sturdy agricultural ambition that drew settlers to these interior reaches, where the economy is tethered to the cycles of the harvest and the resilience of the soil. The legacy of Scandinavian heritage lingers in the deliberate, measured pace of the streets, where the architecture reflects a practical necessity born of long, biting winters and brief, intense summers. Daily life here moves in synchrony with the seasonal turn of the crops, maintaining a continuity that feels detached from the hurried pulse of more crowded regions. There is a particular clarity in the air during the autumn, a crispness that clarifies the silhouette of every silo and steeple, grounding Evansville in a landscape that has demanded endurance and quiet labor from those who have called it home for generations.

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.
