Explore Long Lake, 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 Long Lake, 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 Long Lake.
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.

Long Lake emerges from the flat, glacial expanse of the interior plains, defined by the quiet persistence of the water that bears its name. It lies 5.9 miles west-southwest of Plymouth, MN (from Plymouth, MN: bearing 254°T), and is situated 8.2 miles southwest of Maple Grove. Long Lake Creek meanders through the landscape as a silvered thread, carving a path through the rich, dark soil and feeding the reeds that sway in the cool prairie winds. At the edges of the water, Nelson Lakeside Park offers a place of stillness, where the low-slung, golden light of late afternoon catches the tall grasses and turns the surface of the water into a mirror of polished nickel. The horizon remains vast and unbroken, save for the distant, faint rise of Sunset Hill, which anchors the view and reminds the observer of the slow, tectonic patience of the land.
Development in Long Lake reflects a history rooted in the expansion of early rail lines and the steady cultivation of the surrounding fields, which transformed the wilderness into a mosaic of homesteads and commerce. The local economy has shifted from the labor of the soil to a modern rhythm of trade and professional service, yet the character of the place remains tethered to the seasonal cycles that have marked this region for generations. Residents move through their days with a quiet deliberation, acknowledging the profound stillness of the winter months and the sudden, vibrant intensity of the summer thaw. Despite the steady growth of modern infrastructure, the presence of the creek and the open sky ensures that the essential spirit of Long Lake remains attuned to the quiet, unadorned beauty of the inland plains.

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.
