Explore Pickwick, 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 Pickwick, 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 Pickwick.
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.

Pickwick occupies a narrow corridor where the earth seems to exhale a cool, damp mist, defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of Big Trout Creek as it carves through the limestone bedrock. It lies 8.6 miles east-southeast of Winona, MN (from Winona, MN: bearing 123°T), and is situated 8.6 miles southeast of Buffalo. The landscape is dominated by the sudden verticality of Perrot Ridge, which casts long, indigo shadows across the terrain as the sun retreats behind the heights. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the land rises into the quiet, wooded expanses of the R J D Memorial Hardwood State Forest, where the trees stand in dense, silent ranks. This environment possesses a singular, muted clarity, especially in the late afternoon when the light catches the limestone bluffs, turning the pale stone into a color reminiscent of weathered bone.
Pickwick emerged from the practical necessities of a frontier economy, relying on the water power of the local streams to sustain early milling operations that grounded the settlement in its formative years. The proximity of Little Trout Valley provided a sheltered passage for those traversing the rugged interior, while the nearby Lake Onalaska served as a focal point for regional movement and trade. Today, the pace of life in Pickwick remains dictated by the seasonal shifts of the hardwood forest, a rhythm that honors a heritage of land-based labor and quiet persistence. Residents often look toward the Long Lake Canoe Trail for recreation, moving through a geography that feels less like a place of rapid transformation and more like a permanent, enduring feature of the northern landscape.

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.
