Explore St. Leo, 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. Leo, 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. Leo.
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. Leo remains a quiet sentinel of the high prairie, where the horizon stretches flat and wide under a sky that seems to possess more depth than the earth itself. It lies 22.7 miles northwest of Marshall, MN (from Marshall, MN: bearing 325°T), and is situated 22.4 miles southwest of Montevideo. The landscape is defined by the steady, unyielding patience of open farmland, broken only by the thin, intermittent veins of Spring Creek as it winds through the fields two miles away. Beyond the immediate grid of the grid-locked roads, the distant shapes of the Antelope Hills offer a jagged, violet silhouette against the sunset, while the nearby Omro State Wildlife Management Area provides a sanctuary of tall grasses and seasonal marshland. On the rare, still evenings of late autumn, the air carries a crisp, metallic clarity that makes the distant surface of Burton Lake shimmer like a fallen coin in the tall grass five miles to the east.
St. Leo draws its rhythm from the cycles of the soil and the hard-won traditions of the plains, maintaining an economy deeply rooted in the seasonal labor of the surrounding acreage. The history of the place is etched into the modest architecture of its core, where the echoes of early settlers remain present in the sturdy, clapboard structures that have weathered decades of biting winter wind. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a long-standing agricultural tenure, where the success of the harvest dictates the pulse of the local calendar. Despite the inevitable pull of the modern world, the people of St. Leo cultivate a stubborn independence, finding a quiet beauty in the way the morning light catches the dust motes in a grain elevator or the hushed, expansive solitude that defines these inland plains.

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.
