How to Use This Greenwald, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Greenwald occupies a stretch of fertile, level prairie that defines the agricultural character of central Minnesota. It lies 31.6 miles west of Sartell, MN (from Sartell, MN: bearing 268°T), and is situated 5.6 miles south-southwest of Melrose. The horizon here is vast and unencumbered, interrupted only by the vertical reach of grain silos and the occasional stand of hardwood trees that brace against the biting, deep-winter winds. A few miles to the east, the landscape finds a quiet sanctuary at the Stearns County Waterfowl Production Area, where the land yields to marshy lowlands, while the nearby Elrings Lake offers a reflective stillness to the sky. Water finds its way through the soil via the modest, winding path of County Ditch Number Fortyfour, a quiet vein that drains the surrounding fields and underscores the hydrological rhythm of the plains.

Greenwald emerged from the necessity of the soil, growing as a center for the hardworking families who transformed these open spaces into a productive patchwork of corn and soybean fields. The local economy remains tethered to the seasonal cycles of the earth, where the steady hum of machinery during harvest defines the tempo of the calendar. Life in Greenwald moves with a deliberate, grounded consistency, reflecting a heritage built on patience and the persistent labor of generations. Even as the modern world shifts, the community maintains a distinct, quiet self-reliance, observed in the way the low, golden light of late afternoon illuminates the weathered barns and the simple, functional architecture of the main streets.

About This Greenwald Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Greenwald, Minnesota. Coordinates: 45.601632, -94.860015. 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 Greenwald includes the ZIP code (56335), telephone area code (320), county seat of Stearns County (St. Cloud), and school district assignment (Melrose 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.
