Explore Fridley, 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 Fridley, 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 Fridley.
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.

Fridley maintains a quiet presence upon the flat, expansive terrain of the upper Midwest, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered. It lies 2.6 miles south-southeast of Coon Rapids, MN (from Coon Rapids, MN: bearing 153°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north of Minneapolis. Rice Creek cuts a deliberate path through the landscape, serving as a vital artery that gathers the snowmelt and seasonal rains of the region. Locke Lake sits still and reflective, holding the pale, cool light of the afternoon sky in its depths. Residents often gather at City Plaza to watch the seasons shift the colors of the local grasses from vibrant summer green to a muted, dormant gold. The air here possesses a crisp, clean clarity, especially during the long, hushed evenings that precede the winter frost.
Fridley emerged from the steady expansion of the regional rail lines and the subsequent growth of twentieth-century manufacturing. The local economy relies on a foundation of industrious spirit, with light industry and corporate headquarters anchoring the employment base. Long-standing companies have shaped the daily rhythm of the streets, ensuring a consistent pace for those who commute through the industrial corridors. The legacy of these workspaces remains visible in the architecture of the commercial districts, which favor utility and efficiency over ornamentation. Even as the modern economy evolves toward professional services, the town retains a grounded character shaped by its history of production and hard work.
Fridley fosters a steady, unpretentious cultural identity that values neighborliness and a modest approach to civic life. Residents find moments of recreation at City Plaza, a central point for community interaction that anchors the social landscape. The proximity to Saint Anthony Falls offers a glimpse of the region’s natural power, drawing those who appreciate the force of rushing water against the limestone shelves. While the area remains quiet, it has been home to notable figures like the professional athlete and Olympic medalist John Kundla, who left a lasting mark on the sports history of the state. Visitors looking for a long walk might follow the path along Shingle Creek Parkway, which provides a quiet corridor for observing the local flora. Life in Fridley moves with the deliberate, reliable cadence of a place that is comfortable in its own skin.

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.
