Explore Roseau, 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 Roseau, 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 Roseau.
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.

Roseau stretches across a vast, level expanse of northern prairie where the horizon pulls the eye toward a sky that seems to possess more depth than the earth itself. It lies 103.2 miles north-northwest of Bemidji, MN (from Bemidji, MN: bearing 337°T), and is situated 53.8 miles north-northeast of Thief River Falls. The Roseau River carves a serpentine path through the landscape, its slow, dark waters reflecting the shifting colors of a climate defined by long, quiet winters and the sudden, verdant intensity of spring. Beyond the town limits, the terrain transitions into the dense, shadowed reaches of the Lost River State Forest, while the distant, faint silhouette of Lone Pine Ridge marks the edge of the visible world. Within the center of the grid, the Main Avenue Pocket Park offers a small, deliberate pause of green, a place to witness the sun as it spills amber light over the flat, expansive plains of the Roseau Lakebed to the west.
Agriculture and specialized manufacturing form the bedrock of the local rhythm, grounding Roseau in a cycle of production that has defined its growth since the earliest settlers arrived to clear the timber and break the soil. The legacy of Scandinavian and Ojibwe influences persists in the sturdy, unpretentious character of the architecture and the deliberate, steady pace of those who work the machinery of the regional economy. Beyond the daily labor, the proximity to the wilderness remains a constant, with Marvin Lake providing a stillness that contrasts with the hum of the production lines. Life in Roseau moves with the seasons, from the deep, insulating snows that turn the fields into a monochromatic expanse to the harvest period when the air carries the scent of dry grain and the promise of the coming frost.

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.
