Explore St. Augusta, 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 St. Augusta, 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 St. Augusta.
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.

St. Augusta emerges from the central Minnesota landscape as a quiet intersection of open fields and woodland patches, defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Johnson Creek as it cuts through the earth. It lies 7.3 miles south-southwest of St. Cloud, MN (from St. Cloud, MN: bearing 194°T), and is situated 9.4 miles south of Sauk Rapids. The terrain around St. Augusta favors a subtle, glacial topography where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the occasional silhouette of timber stands that break the monotony of the plains. During the long, brittle winters, the air gains a sharp, metallic clarity, and the light at dusk settles over the frost-hardened soil in shades of bruised violet and pale, cooling gold. Hidden Lake Park provides a local sanctuary where the land remains undisturbed, offering a quiet vantage point to observe the slow, seasonal transitions of the interior woods.
St. Augusta reflects a history rooted in the grit of agricultural settlement, where the rhythm of the day is still dictated by the demands of the soil and the movement of the seasons. The economy remains tethered to the land and the surrounding regional infrastructure, maintaining a character that values labor and the steady accumulation of experience over the frantic pace of larger hubs. While Beaver Lake rests quietly a few miles away, the identity of St. Augusta is formed more by the modest, persistent flow of its creek and the collective memory of those who have worked these acres for generations. Life here feels grounded in the practicalities of the North Woods, a place where the stillness of the landscape fosters a deliberate, unadorned way of existing that asks little of the traveler but an appreciation for the quiet persistence of the Midwestern interior.

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.
