How to Use This Springfield, Minnesota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Springfield, 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 Springfield.
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.

About Springfield, Minnesota
Springfield is a locality in Brown County, Minnesota, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,027. The population density is 417.0 people per km². Springfield is located at 44.2388°N, 94.9758°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Springfield is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 56087.Springfield occupies a quiet stretch of the Minnesota prairie, defined by the steady, unassuming presence of the Cottonwood River as it carves a path through the landscape. It lies 16.4 miles west of Brown, MN (from Brown, MN: bearing 272°T), and is situated 13.1 miles west-southwest of Sleepy Eye. The sky here possesses a vast, unencumbered quality, turning a pale, bruised violet during the long transition of dusk, while the horizon remains flat enough to track the slow migration of weather across the fields. Four miles to the north, the Reed Lakebed and Boise Lake offer a stillness that mirrors the quietude of the surrounding plains, a geography that feels ancient and indifferent to the clock. At the edges of the horizon, the distant rise of Fort Hill provides the only meaningful interruption to the level expanse, anchoring the view in a land where the earth and sky seem to hold a permanent, silent conversation.
Springfield maintains its character through a rhythmic devotion to agriculture and the enduring work of the soil, a cycle that has defined the rhythm of daily life for generations. The economy remains rooted in the productivity of the surrounding acreage, where the golden hues of the harvest dictate the pace of the calendar more effectively than any calendar on a wall. Local life often finds its focus in the preservation of the land, with the Vogel State Wildlife Management Area serving as a vital sanctuary for the native grasses and fauna that define the regional ecology. This is a place where history is kept in the weathered grain elevators and the sturdy brickwork of the center, reflecting a heritage built on persistence and the quiet labor of those who settled the high plains.

About This Springfield Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Springfield, Minnesota. Coordinates: 44.238848, -94.975823. 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 Springfield includes the ZIP code (56087), telephone area code (320), county seat of Brown County (New Ulm), and school district assignment (Springfield Public 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.
