How to Use This Finland, Minnesota Map

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

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.

About Finland, Minnesota

Finland is a locality in Lake County, Minnesota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 215. The population density is 12.4 people per km². Finland is located at 47.4321°N, 91.2560°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 55603.

Finland emerges from the dense, dark canopy of the North Woods as a rugged outpost defined by the persistent, cold vitality of the West Branch Baptism River. It lies 59.4 miles northeast of Duluth, MN (from Duluth, MN: bearing 42°T), and is situated 33.5 miles northeast of Two Harbors. The landscape surrounding Finland is defined by a dense, unyielding wilderness where the Finland State Forest stretches out in every direction, its heavy timber and moss-covered stones offering a quiet, somber scale. Just a few miles to the east, the waters of Lookout Lake sit perfectly still, reflecting the low, gray clouds that often hang over the terrain during the transition between seasons. The air here holds a sharp, clean quality, smelling of damp pine needles and the iron-rich earth that characterizes this northern reach.

Finland carries the echoes of the loggers and homesteaders who first carved a life out of the thick brush, leaving behind a legacy of resilience that persists in the slow, deliberate pace of the modern day. The local economy remains tethered to the land, moving in time with the changing timber harvests and the seasonal rhythms of the outdoors, where residents rely on the Moosewalk Snowmobile Trail to navigate the deep, enduring snows of the long winter. While Palisade Head rises on the distant horizon as a silent sentinel, the pulse of the place is found in the communal hearths and the shared understanding of a life lived far from the frantic reach of the plains. It is a quiet existence, marked by the steady flow of the river and the knowledge that the forest is always watching, patient and deep.

About This Finland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Finland, Minnesota. Coordinates: 47.43209, -91.25596. 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 Finland includes the ZIP code (55603), telephone area code (218), county seat of Lake County (Two Harbors), and school district assignment (Lake Superior 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.
