Explore New Prague, 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 New Prague, 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 Prague.
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 Prague occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Midwestern prairie and the rhythmic flow of the local terrain. It lies 14.0 miles south-southwest of Prior Lake, MN (from Prior Lake, MN: bearing 213°T), and is situated 8.9 miles south-southeast of Jordan. The Philipps Creek meanders through the vicinity, acting as a subtle, silver thread that draws the eye across the open fields. Just three miles away, the waters of Cedar Lake provide a serene counterpoint to the expansive, flat horizon that dominates the view. Residents often look toward the distant silhouette of Buck Hill, which rises nineteen miles away to anchor the otherwise level perspective. Within the borders of the municipality, Memorial Park offers a green sanctuary where the atmosphere remains undisturbed by the haste of modern life.
New Prague draws its structural character from the industrious spirit of early settlers who recognized the agricultural promise of this fertile interior soil. The local economy has evolved from its agrarian origins to sustain a variety of manufacturing and service industries that keep the pulse of daily commerce steady. Small businesses line the streets, reflecting a commitment to local enterprise that has persisted through many decades of growth. The land itself, far from the influence of any coastline, supports a tradition of hard work and quiet determination. Winter brings a stillness to the regional industry, allowing the community to turn inward and focus on the internal mechanics of its own development.
Cultural life in New Prague finds its truest expression in the preservation of heritage and the maintenance of communal gathering spaces. The calendar is marked by local events that bring neighbors together, fostering a sense of continuity that honors the past without being tethered to it. Stained glass and brick architecture provide landmarks that capture the light at dusk, casting long, warm shadows across the sidewalks. While the pace of life here is deliberate, it remains deeply connected to the broader regional identity of the North Woods and the surrounding farmland. Notable figures associated with the area, such as the professional golfer Mike Morley, exemplify the focused ambition that often emerges from such a grounded environment. New Prague maintains a distinct personality, balancing the weight of its history with a forward-looking approach to its own unique future.

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.
