Explore Ivanhoe, Minnesota, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ivanhoe, 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 Ivanhoe.
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.

Ivanhoe anchors the vast, open horizon of the southwestern prairie, where the sky claims more territory than the earth itself. It lies 22.7 miles west of Marshall, MN (from Marshall, MN: bearing 273°T), and is situated 29.2 miles east-northeast of Brookings. The land here stretches in long, flat swells of rich soil, broken only by the thin, winding ribbon of the Yellow Medicine River just a mile from the center. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Antelope Hills suggests a rugged world far removed from the quiet, cultivated fields that define the immediate sightline. Near the edge of the grid, the depression of the Swenson Lakebed holds the memory of ancient water, while the nearby Hawks Nest Lake catches the flat, golden light of late afternoon, turning the surface into a mirror for the migrating geese that frequent the Lincoln County Waterfowl Production Area.
Ivanhoe serves as a sturdy witness to the cycles of the plains, its character forged by the persistence of agricultural life and the steady, unadorned rhythm of the harvest. The economy remains rooted in the deep productivity of the soil, a legacy that traces back to the early settlers who recognized the resilience required to thrive in this climate. Life in Ivanhoe moves with the seasons, from the biting, crystalline stillness of the long winters to the intense, verdant rush of the growing months when the corn stands tall against the clouds. There is a quiet gravity to the streets here, where the architecture of the past persists in simple, functional lines, reflecting a culture that values the endurance of the land and the quiet, collective labor of the people who tend it.

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.
