Explore Midway, 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 Midway, 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 Midway.
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.

Midway reveals itself as a quiet assembly of clearings and timber, held firmly within the expansive, inland plains of the North Woods. It lies 19.7 miles east-northeast of Hibbing, MN (from Hibbing, MN: bearing 77°T), and is situated 2.3 miles south-southeast of Virginia. The landscape around Midway is marked by the subtle, cold presence of Mud Lake, which sits barely a mile away, its still waters reflecting the pale, thin light of the upper Midwest. To the west, the rise of Lookout Mountain punctuates the horizon, a distant reminder of the earth’s uneven reach, while the flow of Long Lake Creek cuts a narrow, winding path through the soil two miles from the center of the settlement. The air here holds a crisp, biting quality, especially as the shadows stretch long across the ground during the final hours of the afternoon, turning the surrounding brush into a study of deep grays and muted browns.
History in Midway remains closely tied to the slow, deliberate work of those who first cleared the pine and managed the rugged terrain of the region. The local economy is defined by a reliance on the land, where the rhythms of the seasons dictate the pace of life and the movement of goods through the sparse, wooded expanse. Residents often find their way to Miscellaneous, a nearby area that provides a quiet, managed space for the wilder elements of the geography to persist undisturbed by the demands of industry. Life in Midway moves with a steady, unadorned focus, shaped by the weight of long winters and the resilience required to thrive in a place where the landscape demands respect rather than fanfare.

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.
