How to Use This Montrose, Minnesota Map

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

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 Montrose, Minnesota

Montrose is a locality in Wright County, Minnesota, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,775. The population density is 473.4 people per km².

Montrose occupies a stretch of fertile, level prairie land that transitions into the quiet, wooded fringes of the upper Midwest. It lies 7.6 miles south-southwest of Buffalo, MN (from Buffalo, MN: bearing 194°T), and is situated 6.2 miles west-northwest of Delano. The horizon here is vast and unencumbered, defined by the hushed, expansive clarity of the sky and the subtle, seasonal shifts in the color of the tall grasses. Only a mile away, the surface of Malardi Lake holds the reflection of the clouds in a stillness that persists through the long, deep winters, while the North Fork Crow River meanders through the wider landscape three miles distant, carving a slow, deliberate path through the earth. Within the immediate boundaries of the settlement, Lions Park provides a green, communal anchor where the air carries the scent of damp soil and the sharp, clean bite of northern winds.

Montrose maintains a steady, deliberate pace that honors its agricultural roots and the steady persistence of those who first settled these plains. The economy here remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, balancing the legacies of small-scale industry with the quiet ambition of a modern commuter hub. Far to the west, the distant depression of the Swan Lakebed serves as a reminder of the ancient glacial forces that shaped the regional topography, leaving behind the rich, heavy soil that once drew pioneers to this interior expanse. Life in Montrose is marked by the recurring cycle of planting and harvest, a daily experience where the weight of history is felt not in monuments, but in the enduring character of the people who continue to work the land.

About This Montrose Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Montrose, Minnesota. Coordinates: 45.064963, -93.911081. 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 Montrose includes the ZIP code (55363), telephone area code (612, 952), county seat of Wright County (Buffalo), and school district assignment (Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose Public Schools).

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.
