How to Use This Greenwood, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Greenwood occupies a narrow, verdant finger of land that extends into the intricate, labyrinthine waters of Lake Minnetonka. It lies 2.4 miles west of Minnetonka, MN (from Minnetonka, MN: bearing 273°T), and is situated 8.2 miles southwest of Plymouth. The landscape is defined by this intimate relationship with the water, where the horizon is perpetually broken by the silhouette of docks and the dense, quiet stands of hardwood trees that define the regional canopy. During the long, hushed winters, the surface of Lake Minnetonka freezes into a vast, white plain, and the air turns sharp and thin, carrying the scent of dormant timber and frozen earth. Residents often walk the quiet paths near Manor Park, where the light at dusk catches the frost on the tall, yellowed grasses, turning the entire peninsula into a study of muted grays and deep, resonant blues.

Greenwood remains a place of quiet residential character, distinct from the busier industrial centers that once fueled the growth of the surrounding region. The local economy is largely defined by the preservation of this woodland environment, with much of the daily rhythm dictated by the changing seasons and the slow, deliberate work of maintaining the properties that line the lakefront. History here is marked by the gradual transition from early timber clearing to the development of a tranquil, wooded suburb, though the influence of the nearby Minnehaha Creek and the distant, rugged elevation of Mount Gilboa provides a sense of scale to the immediate topography. Life in Greenwood moves with a steady, unhurried cadence, shaped by a collective respect for the deep, glacial basins of the lake and the persistent, slow-moving peace of the North Woods.
