How to Use This Greenbush, Minnesota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Greenbush, 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 Greenbush.
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.

ZIP code: 56726.Greenbush emerges from the flat, expansive plains of northwestern Minnesota as a quiet sentinel of the northern prairie. It lies 66.3 miles northeast of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 36°T), and is situated 21.6 miles west-southwest of Roseau. The horizon remains vast and unobstructed, where the sky claims the greater portion of the landscape, shifting from the pale blue of midday to the bruised purples and golds that signal the onset of a long, cold dusk. To the west, the subtle rise of Juneberry Ridge provides a faint, distant silhouette against the sky, while the nearby Hereim State Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of grasses and wetlands that mirror the stillness of the surrounding fields. The air here holds a crisp, singular clarity, carrying the scent of dry earth and the distant, biting promise of winter across the open terrain.
Greenbush maintains its character through the steady, seasonal rhythms of agriculture and the resilient spirit of those who settled this interior reach of the country. The economy remains tethered to the fertile soil and the industrious efforts of those who work the land, turning the plains into a patchwork of productivity that has sustained generations. While the South Branch Two Rivers flows eight miles away, tracing a quiet path through the landscape, the local life is defined more by the enduring stability of the grain elevator and the communal bonds formed in the face of the deep frost. Beyond the immediate reach of the grid, the quiet waters of Twin Lakes provide a place for reflection, grounding the identity of Greenbush in the simple, honest beauty of an inland existence that asks for little but offers a profound, steady peace.

About This Greenbush Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Greenbush, Minnesota. Coordinates: 48.700532, -96.181682. 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 Greenbush includes the ZIP code (56726), telephone area code (320), county seat of Roseau County (Roseau), and school district assignment (Greenbush-Middle River 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.
