How to Use This Graceville, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Graceville occupies a flat, expansive stretch of the prairie where the sky claims more territory than the earth itself. It lies 52.2 miles south-southwest of Fergus Falls, MN (from Fergus Falls, MN: bearing 199°T), and is situated 18.3 miles north of Ortonville. The horizon remains perpetually open, a vast stage for the shifting light that turns the tall grasses into a sea of muted gold during the late afternoon. East Toqua Lake sits directly against the edge of the landscape, its surface often mirroring the heavy, slate-colored clouds that roll in from the west. Nearby, West Branch Twelvemile Creek carves a thin, vital vein through the soil, providing a slow-moving stillness to the rural terrain. Beyond the immediate fields, the depression of the Moonshine Lakebed marks the earth with a subtle, ancient indentation, a reminder of the geological forces that smoothed this terrain into a wide, quiet basin.

Agriculture defines the pulse of Graceville, where the seasonal work of the fields dictates the rhythm of the year. The local economy remains anchored to the productivity of the black, fertile earth, a legacy of the settlers who broke the sod to establish these homesteads. Residents often look toward the West Toqua State Wildlife Management Area, a expanse of protected land that preserves the native character of the region and offers a sanctuary for migratory birds. Life moves here with a deliberate, measured gravity, shaped by the intensity of the long winters and the quiet persistence of those who call the plains home. Even in the height of summer, there is a sense of endurance in the architecture and the way the wind carries the scent of dry hay across the quiet streets of Graceville.

About This Graceville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Graceville, Minnesota. Coordinates: 45.56913, -96.434506. 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 Graceville includes the ZIP code (56240), telephone area code (320), county seat of Big Stone County (Ortonville), and school district assignment (Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley).

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.
