Explore Sherburn, 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 Sherburn, 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 Sherburn.
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.

Sherburn occupies a broad, level expanse of the prairie where the horizon line stretches thin and sharp against the vast, pale dome of the sky. It lies 13.3 miles west of Fairmont, MN (from Fairmont, MN: bearing 270°T), and is situated 18.1 miles north-northeast of Estherville. The landscape around Sherburn consists of rich, dark soil that seems to hold the light of the sun long after it has dipped below the western edge of the fields. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Fox Lake offer a reflective mirror to the passing clouds, while the nearby Munger Lakebed tells of ancient, shifting depressions in the earth. The slow, deliberate path of County Ditch Number Eleven cuts through the terrain, draining the moisture from the heavy loam and providing a subtle, rhythmic division to the otherwise uniform geometry of the plains.
Agriculture dictates the pulse of Sherburn, where the annual cycle of planting and harvest defines the rhythm of the days and the character of the people who work the land. Grain elevators rise like stoic, industrial sentinels above the houses, marking the presence of a local economy deeply tethered to the productivity of the surrounding farms. Beyond the town limits, the Fox Lake State Wildlife Management Area preserves a fragment of the wilder, uncultivated grasses that once dominated this interior geography. In the quiet transition between seasons, the air turns crisp and carries the scent of turned earth, grounding the residents of Sherburn in a steady, unadorned way of life that values endurance and the quiet labor of the seasons.

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.
