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

New Germany is located at 44.8841°N, 93.9705°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. New Germany is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 55367.New Germany anchors itself upon the quiet, fertile plains of Carver County, where the earth holds the scent of damp loam and the wide, open sky dictates the temperament of the day. It lies 9.3 miles west-northwest of Waconia, MN (from Waconia, MN: bearing 284°T), and is situated 8.2 miles southwest of Watertown. The landscape surrounding New Germany unfolds in a series of subtle, glacial rises and falls, creating a horizon that feels both expansive and intimate under the shifting light of a Midwestern afternoon. Two miles to the west, the South Fork Crow River carves a deliberate path through the silt, its current a slow, rhythmic pulse that defines the low-lying moisture of the region. Further afield, the landscape yields to the hollowed silence of the Higgins Lakebed and the still, reflective surface of Berliner Lake, while the nearby Gravel Pit 2749 State Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of unkempt brush and wild grass where the wind finds little resistance.
Economic life in New Germany remains tethered to the industrious spirit of its foundational settlers, who recognized the potential in this soil long before the modern grid arrived. The rhythm of the day is measured by the steady hum of local commerce and the seasonal demands of agriculture that continue to shape the character of the residents. While the bustle of larger centers remains distant, New Germany preserves a distinct, grounded identity, holding fast to a legacy of craftsmanship and hard-won stability. Even as the seasons cycle from the verdant pressure of summer to the long, crystalline stillness of winter, the people maintain a focused, pragmatic grace that reflects the enduring nature of the plains they occupy.

About This New Germany Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Germany, Minnesota. Coordinates: 44.884129, -93.970526. 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 New Germany includes the ZIP code (55367), telephone area code (612, 952), county seat of Carver County (Chaska), and school district assignment (Waconia Public 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.
