Explore Lakeland Shores, 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 Lakeland Shores, 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 Lakeland Shores.
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.

Lakeland Shores stretches along the western edge of Lake Saint Croix, where the land rises from the water in a series of wooded ridges and quiet, shaded slopes. It lies 6.5 miles east-southeast of Lake Elmo, MN (from Lake Elmo, MN: bearing 120°T), and is situated 9.7 miles east of Woodbury. The air here holds a distinct, crisp clarity, especially as the late afternoon light catches the ripple of the lake and turns the surrounding foliage into a tapestry of deep greens and flickering gold. To the west, the gentle rise of Coons Hill breaks the horizon, anchoring the topography against the sky, while the nearby expanse of Cully Park provides a preserved corridor of greenery that invites the quiet observation of the local avian life. The earth is firm and dark, shaped by the slow, persistent movement of geological ages that left this terrain defined by its intimate relationship with the water and the undulating, ancient plains that stretch toward the horizon.
Lakeland Shores carries the quiet weight of a regional history rooted in the mid-nineteenth-century expansion that saw settlers drawn to the fertile potential of the river valleys. The economy of the region has long been sustained by the proximity to the Saint Croix River, a vital artery that once served as a primary conduit for timber and trade, though today it serves mostly to define the slow, deliberate pace of life for those who reside here. Residents often look toward the distant, rugged influence of Clifton Hollow, recognizing the way the landscape dictates the flow of local commerce and the rhythm of the changing seasons. Life in Lakeland Shores is marked by the transition from the humid, vibrant summers to the profound, deep quiet of the long winters, when the ice settles over the water and the entire region seems to hold its breath in anticipation of the thaw.

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.
