Explore Osseo, 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 Osseo, 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 Osseo.
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.

Osseo holds a quiet posture upon the high, flat plains that characterize this stretch of the upper Midwest. It lies 2.8 miles northwest of Brooklyn Park, MN (from Brooklyn Park, MN: bearing 308°T), and is situated 8.0 miles north-northeast of Plymouth. The landscape around Osseo favors the subtle geometry of horizon lines and expansive, open skies that catch the amber light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the fields. To the west, the distant rise of Sunset Hill breaks the monotony of the prairie, while the terrain remains defined by the proximity of the Lime Lakebed and the low, damp earth near Mud Lake. The air here carries a crisp, dry weight, a precursor to the long winters that seem to suspend the world in a state of silver-toned hibernation, grounding the region in a landscape that feels vast and unhurried.
Boerboom Veterans Park serves as the social anchor for the local rhythm, providing a green space where the pace of daily life slows to match the movement of the seasons. Historically, the area grew from the steady labor of those who broke the stubborn sod, and today, the economy reflects a transition from those foundational agrarian roots toward a more contemporary, service-oriented character. The nearby flow of Shingle Creek traces a path through the regional geography, acting as a quiet artery that sustains the local ecology, much like the Shingle Creek Parkway offers a corridor for those traversing the land on foot. Life in Osseo moves with a deliberate, steady frequency, shaped by a history of resilience and a landscape that demands a patient appreciation for the changing colors of the tall grass and the deep, hushed stillness of the plains.

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.
