How to Use This Madison Lake, Minnesota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Madison 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 Madison 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.

Madison Lake holds the stillness of the high prairie, where the horizon stretches wide and the light at dusk settles heavy and gold over the flat, agrarian expanse. It lies 9.5 miles east-northeast of Mankato, MN (from Mankato, MN: bearing 73°T), and is situated 4.3 miles northeast of Eagle Lake. The landscape surrounding Madison Lake is defined by the Duck Lake State Aquatic Management Area (Blue Earth), a quiet expanse of marsh and tallgrass that filters the wind before it ripples across the water. To the west, the subtle rise of Klondike Hill breaks the monotony of the plains, offering a vantage point over the glacial remnants that shaped this terrain. Not far off, the low-lying basin of Dove Lakebed marks the ancient path of receding waters, while the steady flow of Shanaska Creek carves a narrow, winding corridor through the dark, fertile soil that defines the regional character.

Generations of settlers broke this stubborn earth to build a life centered on the rhythm of the seasons, turning the rich, black loam into a productive grid of corn and soybean fields. The economic vitality of Madison Lake remains tied to this cycle, where the work of the harvest dictates the pace of the days and the quiet, industrious nature of the residents. Beyond the fields, a deep respect for the land persists, evidenced by the careful preservation of the local wildlife areas where the silence is broken only by the migratory passage of birds. Life in Madison Lake moves with the deliberate gravity of the interior plains, an existence forged in the deep, freezing winters and the intense, sun-drenched summers that define the interior of the continent.

About This Madison Lake Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Madison Lake, Minnesota. Coordinates: 44.204412, -93.815508. 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 Madison Lake includes the ZIP code (56063), telephone area code (320), county seat of Blue Earth County (Mankato), and school district assignment (Mankato 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.
