How to Use This Hendrum, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Hendrum occupies a vast, level expanse of the Red River Valley, where the horizon stretches flat and uncompromising against an immense vault of sky. It lies 27.1 miles north of Moorhead, MN (from Moorhead, MN: bearing 356°T), and is situated 26.8 miles north of Fargo. The earth here is dark, heavy with the alluvial memory of glacial retreat, supporting a landscape defined by the rhythmic geometry of broad agricultural fields that darken to charcoal under the bruised light of a gathering storm. Only a mile away, the Wild Rice River cuts a wandering, silt-laden path through the terrain, its banks lined with the gnarled silhouettes of cottonwoods that shiver in the persistent prairie wind. Further out, the landscape softens into the quiet, still waters of Grandin Lake, providing a reflective counterpoint to the relentless, fertile flatness that characterizes the regional topography.

Hendrum carries the quiet weight of a settlement forged in the era of rail expansion, its grid of streets anchored by the endurance of grain elevators that stand as sentinels over the local economy. The pulse of life remains tethered to the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest, a rhythm that dictates the pace of commerce and the shared language of the residents. While the bustle of larger centers feels a world away, the proximity of Sandpiper Prairie State Scientific and Natural Area preserves a fragment of the original tallgrass ecosystem, offering a stark contrast to the cultivated rows that define the surrounding miles. In the stillness of a winter dusk, when the frost settles into the stubble of the fields, Hendrum reveals a stark, singular beauty found only in the deep, unadorned interior of the continent.

About This Hendrum Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hendrum, Minnesota. Coordinates: 47.264417, -96.811468. 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 Hendrum includes the ZIP code (56550), telephone area code (320), county seat of Norman County (Ada), and school district assignment (Ada-Borup-West Public Schools).

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.
