Explore Kenneth, 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 Kenneth, 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 Kenneth.
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.

Kenneth occupies a modest expanse of the vast, open prairie, where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the sun whole each evening. It lies 25.5 miles west-northwest of Worthington, MN (from Worthington, MN: bearing 291°T), and is situated 9.8 miles northeast of Luverne. The land surrounding Kenneth is defined by the steady, rhythmic persistence of winds that sweep across the flat acreage, bending the tall grasses of the Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge just a few miles away. To the west, the subtle, elevated profile of Buffalo Ridge defines the skyline, a reminder of the tectonic patience that shaped this region long before the plow arrived. Through the low ground nearby, Champepadan Creek cuts a narrow, winding path, its waters serving as a quiet artery for a landscape that otherwise favors the stillness of deep, fertile soil and the expansive, unburdened sky.
Agriculture remains the primary pulse of Kenneth, as the town serves as a functional anchor for the surrounding farms that harvest the golden, sun-drenched yield of the upper Midwest. History here is written in the geometry of fence lines and the preservation of grain elevators that stand as sentinels over the daily work of the residents. While the pace of life remains tethered to the seasonal turn of the weather, there is a particular, quiet beauty in the way the frost settles over the fields or how the light shifts across the plains toward South Mound Creek Pool in the late afternoon. This is a place where the economy is measured in bushels and honest effort, maintaining a character forged by generations who understood that the land requires both respect and endurance to sustain those who call Kenneth home.

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.
