How to Use This Kennedy, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Kennedy unfolds across the vast, flattened expanse of the Red River Valley, where the horizon stretches into a thin, pale line of sky that seems to swallow the earth. It lies 49.8 miles north of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 7°T), and is situated 27.9 miles northeast of Grafton. The landscape remains dominated by the relentless geometry of agricultural fields, interrupted only by the occasional shelterbelt of trees or the subtle, silvered depression of Lake Wold four miles to the east. During the harvest, the air carries a dry, golden dust that softens the harsh clarity of the sun, casting long, bruised shadows that deepen as evening approaches. Far to the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Juneberry Ridge marks the edge of the world, providing a rugged counterpoint to the quiet, horizontal stability of the plains.

Kennedy traces its origins to the expansion of the rail lines that once transformed these northern prairies into a productive corridor of grain and industry. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, as the cycle of planting and harvest dictates the quiet, purposeful movement of trucks and machinery through the center of the grid. Residents often look toward the nearby Red River Acces for a respite in the natural landscape, finding a brief solace in the wilder growth that thrives away from the cultivated furrows. Even when the winter frost hardens the South Branch Two Rivers into a silent, frozen vein, the spirit of Kennedy persists in the steady, internal warmth of a community that has long adapted to the profound solitude of the North.

About This Kennedy Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kennedy, Minnesota. Coordinates: 48.641925, -96.908948. 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 Kennedy includes the ZIP code (56733), telephone area code (320), county seat of Kittson County (Hallock), and school district assignment (Kittson Central 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.
