Explore Longville, 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 Longville, 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 Longville.
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.

Longville occupies a quiet expanse of the North Woods where the silver surface of Girl Lake reflects the shifting temperaments of the northern sky. It lies 36.4 miles west-southwest of Grand Rapids, MN (from Grand Rapids, MN: bearing 242°T), and is situated 33.8 miles southwest of Cohasset. The Boy River carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its current pulling steadily past the timbered edges of the terrain as the air carries a crisp, pine-scented sharpness even at mid-day. To the west, the distant rise of the Sugar Hills provides a muted backdrop against the horizon, while the local environment remains defined by the wild, unmanicured borders of the Miscellaneous SRMA. Here, the light of late afternoon filters through the canopy in long, golden shafts, illuminating the quiet industry of a place defined by the slow, seasonal migration of its inhabitants and the steady persistence of the wilderness.
Longville persists as a testament to the logging and settlement history that once drew pioneers into the dense, timbered interior of the state. The regional economy has evolved from its early reliance on the harvest of white pine to a modern rhythm centered on the seasonal influx of visitors who walk the North Country Trail or seek the solitude provided by the nearby Land O'Lakes State Forest. Life in Longville moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the harsh beauty of long winters and the brief, intense vitality of the summer months. The heritage of the region remains etched in the quiet interactions of those who call this landscape home, maintaining a character forged by the proximity to the deep woods and the persistent, flowing presence of the local waterways.

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.
