Explore Morris, 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 Morris, 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 Morris.
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.

Morris occupies a broad expanse of the Upper Midwest, where the horizon stretches wide across the flat, fertile plains. It lies 33.1 miles southwest of Alexandria, MN (from Alexandria, MN: bearing 232°T), and is situated 24.1 miles northwest of Benson. The landscape around Morris remains defined by the quiet presence of Crystal Lake, which anchors the immediate terrain with its still, reflective surface. Only a few miles away, the Pomme de Terre River winds through the soil, carving a subtle path that supports the surrounding vegetation. During the long, cold winters, the land takes on a muted, silver light, while the warmer months reveal fields that glow with the deep greens of cultivated crops. In the distance, the faint, elevated silhouette of Runestone Hill rises as a reminder of the geological history held within this inland expanse.
Agricultural roots run deep in Morris, shaping the local economy and the steady, industrious pace of its residents. Early settlers were drawn to the productivity of the soil, establishing a foundation that persists today in the modern machinery and grain elevators that define the skyline. The presence of the University of Minnesota Morris has further diversified the local character, shifting the focus toward education and the intellectual life of the plains. Businesses here operate with a quiet consistency, reflective of a community that values the labor of the hands as much as the growth of the mind. Even as industries evolve, the rhythm of work in Morris remains tethered to the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest.
Cultural expression in Morris finds its voice in the shared heritage of those who have made this place their permanent home. Kjenstad Park provides a communal space where the social life of the residents unfolds against a backdrop of native grasses and open sky. Notable individuals who have contributed to the larger world, such as the accomplished author and poet Robert Bly, have carried the influence of these wide, thoughtful landscapes into their creative work. Local gatherings and university events foster a sense of connection that bridges the gap between the quiet rural surroundings and a broader, more global perspective. Life in Morris proceeds with a deliberate grace, where the clarity of the air at dusk seems to sharpen the focus on what truly matters to those living here.

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.
