How to Use This Kasota, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Kasota emerges from the quiet, limestone-heavy earth of the Minnesota River Valley, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Shanaska Creek that carves its way through the local terrain. It lies 2.2 miles south of St. Peter, MN (from St. Peter, MN: bearing 189°T), and is situated 9.1 miles north of Mankato. The landscape here is characterized by the sturdy, unyielding character of the underlying rock, which rises in subtle ridges and breaks the flatness of the surrounding plains. To the west, the distant silhouette of Klondike Hill provides a rare vertical anchor to the horizon, while the terrain dips into the low, ancient basin of Goose Lakebed, a reminder of the shifting post-glacial geography that shaped this interior expanse. During the long, fading light of autumn afternoons, the pale gray stone of the local quarries catches the sun, illuminating the texture of the land with a stark, luminous clarity that makes the very ground seem to hold the warmth of the day.

Kasota maintains a physical and economic connection to the deep, durable strata beneath its feet, having long served as a center for the extraction of the distinctive dolomite limestone that has traveled from these pits to face prominent buildings across the nation. This industry has left its mark on the settlement, where the rhythm of labor is punctuated by the steady, heavy work of moving stone and the quiet persistence of agricultural life in the surrounding fields. Residents move through the day with a grounded, practical pace, often finding respite in the immediate, unassuming presence of Unknown Park, which offers a quiet stretch of green space for the community. Beyond the tracks and the quarry edges, the land remains largely agricultural, a vast, open expanse that stretches toward the horizon, punctuated only by the occasional stillness of State Hospital Pond, which reflects the wide, clear sky of the North Woods country.

About This Kasota Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kasota, Minnesota. Coordinates: 44.292467, -93.964958. 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 Kasota includes the ZIP code (56050), telephone area code (320), county seat of Le Sueur County (Le Center), and school district assignment (St. Peter 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.
