Explore Medina, 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 Medina, 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 Medina.
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.

Medina spreads across a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of glacial earth and the steady transition of seasonal light. It lies 6.4 miles west-northwest of Plymouth, MN (from Plymouth, MN: bearing 285°T), and is situated 6.7 miles west-southwest of Maple Grove. The terrain around Medina is inland and terrestrial, defined by the subtle rise of ground that eventually reaches toward the distant Sunset Hill. Water gathers in the nearby School Lake, while the modest flow of Spurzem Creek carves a narrow path through the surrounding fields. One might observe the way autumn frost clings to the low-lying grasses, turning the morning fields into a study of silver and gray. The proximity to Morris T Baker Park Reserve ensures that the natural character of the region remains an accessible part of daily life.
Medina holds a history rooted in the transformation of prairie and woodland into a productive expanse of agricultural and residential life. The local economy relies on a blend of light industry and professional services that maintain the steady pulse of the region. Many residents look toward the Lime Lakebed as a reminder of the geological processes that shaped the fertile soil upon which the community was built. Trade and enterprise here reflect the broader patterns of the upper Midwest, balancing the requirements of modern infrastructure with a respect for the land’s original contours. Small businesses and established firms work in tandem to sustain a stable environment for families. The rhythm of work in Medina follows the long, deliberate arc of the calendar, favoring patience over haste.
Cultural life in Medina is marked by a quiet independence and a preference for the communal stability found in local gatherings. The Morris T Baker Park Reserve serves as a primary site for outdoor recreation, drawing people together under the expansive sky. While the pace is unhurried, the influence of the region is felt in the architecture and the way public spaces are organized to accommodate the changing seasons. Notable figures such as the renowned musician Prince, who established his creative base at the legendary Paisley Park studio within the vicinity, brought a singular, global artistic focus to this quiet corner of the map. Residents navigate their days with a sense of grounded purpose, observing the subtle shifts in the horizon as the light fades over the fields. The spirit of Medina resides in this balance between the private life of the home and the shared, open reaches of the 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.
