Explore Lexington, 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 Lexington, 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 Lexington.
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.

Lexington occupies a stretch of terrain defined by the deliberate, straight-cut geometry of County Ditch Number Fortythree, which draws a thin, utilitarian line through the local topography. It lies 15.1 miles east-northeast of St. Peter, MN (from St. Peter, MN: bearing 57°T), and is situated 9.3 miles southwest of New Prague. Beyond the reach of this waterway, the land settles into a quiet, terrestrial expanse that feels far removed from the motion of the tides, holding instead the stillness of an inland basin. A mile to the west, Mary Lake gathers the sky in its reflective surface, while the horizon remains largely unobstructed, save for the distant, faint silhouette of Klondike Hill rising far to the north. The air here often carries a crisp, lingering chill, a remnant of the long, deep winters that seem to dictate the very tempo of the soil and the slow, seasonal pulse of the local grasses.
Lexington functions as a modest node of human activity, where the remnants of earlier agricultural settlement persist in the layout of the roads and the enduring character of the architecture. The economy remains tethered to the patterns of the regional interior, drawing stability from the rhythms of the North Woods and the quiet industry of a population that values the space between neighbors. Residents find a quiet connection to the wilder portions of the landscape at the nearby Sheas Lake State Wildlife Management Area, where the native flora provides a sanctuary for local fauna. Life in Lexington moves with an unpretentious, steady cadence, anchored by the reality of the land and the simple, functional presence of the infrastructure that keeps the surrounding fields and properties in working order.

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.
