How to Use This Redwood Falls, Minnesota Map

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

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.

Redwood Falls emerges from the expansive prairie landscape where the earth deepens into rugged, wooded ravines. It lies 31.6 miles northwest of Brown, MN (from Brown, MN: bearing 313°T), and is situated 17.5 miles south-southwest of Olivia. The Redwood River carves a dramatic path through the terrain, its currents pulling steadily toward the horizon as the water navigates the limestone strata. Visitors often gather near the rushing descent of Ramsey Falls, where the sound of moving water echoes against the stone walls of the gorge. Nearby, Lake Redwood provides a serene expanse of calm, reflecting the shifting colors of the sky as day transitions into night. This geography defines the local character, offering a sudden, vertical complexity to an otherwise level horizon that stretches toward the distant, rolling edges of the Three Lakes Lakebed.

Historical narratives of Redwood Falls remain anchored in the interplay between the fertile soil of the plains and the industrious spirit of those who first settled these river banks. Agriculture persists as the primary economic engine, with vast fields of corn and soybeans creating a seasonal rhythm that dictates the pace of commerce and trade. The local industry has adapted over the decades, maintaining a focus on processing and production that supports the regional agricultural cycle. Families here often look toward the distant presence of Middag Knutea, a landmark that serves as a quiet reminder of the enduring geological stability of the region. Despite the shifting demands of the modern economy, the pride of the local workforce remains tied to the land and the reliable stewardship of its primary resources.

Cultural life in Redwood Falls flourishes within the verdant, protected boundaries of Ramsey Park, a place that invites residents to walk beneath canopy trees and observe the local wildlife. The town maintains a steady, deliberate pace, characterized by a neighborly awareness that persists through the long, quiet winters when the landscape turns a stark and beautiful gray. Community gatherings frequently center around seasonal traditions, fostering a sense of continuity that connects the present generation to those who preceded them. While the surroundings are quiet and rural, the people here carry a deep appreciation for the unique topography that separates their home from the flatter expanses of the surrounding plains. The atmosphere reflects a grounded, pragmatic endurance, shaped by the distinct seasonal shifts of the upper Midwest.

About This Redwood Falls Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Redwood Falls, Minnesota. Coordinates: 44.547125, -95.102637. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Redwood Falls includes the ZIP code (56283), telephone area code (320), county seat of Redwood County (Redwood Falls), and school district assignment (Redwood Area School District).

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.
