How to Use This Lansing, Minnesota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lansing, 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 Lansing.
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.

About Lansing, Minnesota
Lansing is a locality in Mower County, Minnesota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 132. The population density is 64.9 people per km². Lansing is located at 43.7452°N, 92.9702°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 55950.Lansing anchors itself upon the fertile, glacial plains of the upper Midwest, where the Cedar River carves a deliberate path through the landscape. It lies 5.4 miles north of Austin, MN (from Austin, MN: bearing 2°T), and is situated 31.4 miles southwest of Rochester. The horizon remains vast and largely uninterrupted, though the distant, faint silhouette of Table Rock occasionally haunts the western sky during the clearest evenings of autumn. A mile away, the Ramsey Mill Pond State Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of tall grasses and seasonal wetlands, while the nearby Ramsey Mill Pond provides a quiet, reflective surface that mirrors the shifting colors of the prairie clouds. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the dark, skeletal silhouettes of the surrounding timber.
Lansing emerged as a modest node of agrarian industry, shaped by the sturdy work of those who broke the stubborn soil to sustain the regional economy. The rhythm of daily existence follows the slow, seasonal turn of the harvest, with the memory of early settlement still lingering in the weathered timber of older barns and the layout of the local roads. Life in Lansing maintains a deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic noise of larger centers, where the primary concerns remain the health of the fields and the endurance of the long, gray winters. This is a place where the landscape demands a quiet patience, and the people carry a certain stoic grace, forged by generations of living in close proximity to the unpredictable temper of the land.

About This Lansing Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lansing, Minnesota. Coordinates: 43.74524, -92.970192. 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 Lansing includes the ZIP code (55950), telephone area code (218), county seat of Mower County (Austin), and school district assignment (Austin 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.
