How to Use This Raymond, Minnesota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Raymond, 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 Raymond.

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.

Raymond emerges from the vast, open prairie as a collection of low-slung buildings anchored to the earth by the weight of the surrounding horizon. It lies 12.0 miles southwest of Willmar, MN (from Willmar, MN: bearing 232°T), and is situated 24.2 miles east-northeast of Montevideo. The land here is defined by a deep, glacial stillness, where the sky claims more territory than the soil, and the light at dusk bleeds a bruised plum color across the flat, expansive fields. A few miles to the east, the Kandiyohi County Waterfowl Production Area offers a sanctuary of tall grasses and marshy pockets, providing a quiet corridor for migrating birds that break the silence of the immense plains. Beyond the edge of the grid, the landscape holds its breath, marked only by the distant, meandering path of Hawk Creek and the occasional glint of Stevens Lake shimmering under the sharp, unblinking sun.

Agriculture dictates the pulse of Raymond, its economy rooted in the dark, fecund dirt that has sustained generations of settlers since the railroad first carved a line through the tallgrass. The rhythms of the year are measured by the planting and the harvest, a cycle of labor that leaves the streets quiet during the long, iron-gray winters when the frost settles deep into the foundation. While the world beyond the horizon moves with a frantic cadence, Raymond maintains an inward-turning character, shaped by the sturdy, practical traditions of its Scandinavian ancestry. There is a singular beauty in the way the grain elevators catch the morning light, standing as solitary sentinels over a geography that values endurance above all else.
