How to Use This Minnesota Lake, Minnesota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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.

About Minnesota Lake, Minnesota
Minnesota Lake is a locality in Faribault County, Minnesota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 661. The population density is 157.5 people per km². Minnesota Lake is located at 43.8419°N, 93.8319°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Minnesota Lake is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 56068.Minnesota Lake occupies a quiet expanse of flat, fertile prairie where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a vast, pale sky. It lies 23.7 miles south-southeast of Mankato, MN (from Mankato, MN: bearing 159°T), and is situated 8.4 miles northwest of Wells. The land around Minnesota Lake remains defined by the deliberate, rhythmic cycle of agriculture, where deep black soil supports vast fields that change from the vibrant emerald of spring corn to the brittle gold of harvest. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the Stokman State Wildlife Management Area provides a sanctuary of tall grasses and seasonal wetlands, offering a refuge for migrating birds that break the silence with sudden, sharp cries. Two miles to the east, the Cobb River meanders through the landscape, its waters carving a subtle, winding path through the heavy earth as it sustains the local flora.
Generations of families have organized their lives around the seasonal shifts of this inland landscape, favoring the steady pace of a community built on the resilience of the plains. Minnesota Lake retains a character forged by early settlers who recognized the potential in the rich, dark loam, establishing an economy fundamentally tied to the productivity of the surrounding grain fields. The architecture of the region reflects a practical, utilitarian history, with grain elevators rising like monuments against the weather-worn gray of winter clouds. Today, the rhythm of daily life in Minnesota Lake follows the slow, deliberate turning of the seasons, where the primary concerns are the moisture of the soil and the temperament of the long, biting winters that test the fiber of those who remain.

About This Minnesota Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Minnesota Lake, Minnesota. Coordinates: 43.841904, -93.831895. 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 Minnesota Lake includes the ZIP code (56068), telephone area code (320), county seat of Faribault County (Blue Earth), and school district assignment (Maple River 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.
