Explore Felton, 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 Felton, 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 Felton.
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.

Felton exists as a quiet anchor upon the expansive, level plains of western Minnesota, where the horizon stretches thin and taut like a pulled thread. It lies 18.8 miles northeast of Moorhead, MN (from Moorhead, MN: bearing 41°T), and is situated 19.3 miles northeast of Fargo. The land here is defined by a rigorous flatness that demands attention to the sky, which often dominates the view with shifting clouds and a quality of light that turns the grasses to burnished copper as the sun dips low. To the west, the landscape rises slightly toward Frenchmans Bluff, a geological reminder of the glacial forces that once shaped this basin, while the nearby Felton State Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary for prairie flora and fauna that thrive in the undisturbed soil. Moisture remains precious in this interior reach of the continent, with Felton Creek winding through the lower reaches of the terrain to provide a vital, slow-moving artery for the surrounding ecosystem.
Agriculture dictates the pulse of life in Felton, where the economy remains deeply rooted in the cultivation of the fertile, dark earth that has supported generations of settlers. The rhythm of the seasons is measured by the planting and the harvest, a cycle that colors the local character with a sturdy, pragmatic resilience inherited from those who first broke the prairie sod. While Hatchet Lake rests a short distance away to provide a brief respite for those seeking the stillness of water, the identity of the place is forged primarily in the grain elevators and the vast, open fields that define the visual horizon. Daily life in Felton proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned focus, reflecting a history of endurance and a persistent connection to the land that remains as constant as the wind sweeping across the plains.

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.
