Explore Morristown, 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 Morristown, 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 Morristown.
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.

Morristown occupies a quiet expanse of the Minnesota interior, where the land stretches out in a patient, flat cadence that defines the local horizon. It lies 9.9 miles west-southwest of Faribault, MN (from Faribault, MN: bearing 242°T), and is situated 14.7 miles northwest of Owatonna. The Cannon River carves a deliberate path past the edges of Morristown, its current a constant, low-frequency presence that draws moisture into the deep soil. To the north, the landscape softens into a patchwork of fields and woodlots, while the nearby Cannon River State Aquatic Management Area (Rice) offers a sanctuary of wild grasses and thickets that turn a brittle, pale straw color under the weight of an early frost. Two miles out, the waters of Sakatah Lake hold the sky in a mirror of flat, unmoving gray, anchoring a geography that feels distant from any coast and defined entirely by the slow shift of seasons across the plains.
History in Morristown clings to the stubborn endurance of the early settlers who recognized the agricultural potential of this fertile basin. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest, with grain silos serving as the vertical punctuation marks against the wide, unobstructed sky. Life here moves with a steady, predictable gravity, shaped by the memory of long winters and the resilience required to work a landscape that demands both labor and respect. While the distant Klondike Hill rises as a faint ripple in the far-off haze, the immediate character of Morristown is found in the simple, honest architecture of its streets and the way the evening light lingers against the brick, casting long shadows that seem to hold the quiet weight of the past.

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.
