Explore Oak Park Heights, 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 Oak Park Heights, 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 Oak Park Heights.
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.

Oak Park Heights claims a position of quiet command over the high bluffs that overlook the steady, southward pull of the Saint Croix River. It lies 1.8 miles south-southeast of Stillwater, MN (from Stillwater, MN: bearing 160°T), and is situated 9.6 miles east-northeast of Oakdale. The landscape here is defined by a rigorous geometry of limestone ridges and deep-set ravines that slope toward the water, creating a terrain where the light of a long autumn afternoon seems to catch in the pale, brittle grasses before fading into the gray shadows of the valley. Valley View Park serves as a local anchor, providing a space where the earth remains unburdened by the surrounding grid, allowing the native flora to persist in the silence between the gusts of wind. Only a mile away, the expansive, cold basin of Lake Saint Croix reflects the wide, colorless sky, its surface often ruffled by the same northern air that carries the scent of damp earth and coming frost across the plateau.
Oak Park Heights maintains an economy shaped by its distinct administrative identity and its proximity to the regional thoroughfares that link the river corridor to the wider plains. While much of the surrounding territory retains the agrarian memory of the early settlers who cleared these woodlands, the modern character of Oak Park Heights is marked by a pragmatic, measured pace of life that respects the heavy, enduring winters. The presence of the state correctional facility stands as a significant, sobering landmark on the landscape, influencing the local rhythm and providing a contrast to the quiet residential streets that branch out toward the horizon. From the high points of the town, one might look toward the distant silhouette of Coons Hill, an observation that grounds the observer in a geography that is vast, inland, and entirely removed from the reach of any distant tide.

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.
