How to Use This Tyler, Minnesota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Tyler, 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 Tyler.

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.

Tyler occupies a vast, open expanse of the high prairie, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered, interrupted only by the subtle rises of the land. It lies 20.7 miles southwest of Marshall, MN (from Marshall, MN: bearing 236°T), and is situated 32.9 miles east of Brookings. Sunlight here possesses a particular, golden clarity, casting long shadows across the fields that seem to amplify the immense scale of the sky. To the west, the distant shadow of Buffalo Ridge marks the limit of the plains, while the nearby Tyler State Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of grasses and quiet earth. The moisture of the region gathers in places like the Ivadelle Lakebed, and the presence of County Ditch Number Forty provides a steady, rhythmic pulse to the drainage of the surrounding soil. During the colder months, the landscape settles into a profound, hushed stillness, as the frost settles over the fields and the air turns sharp and crystalline.

Tyler maintains a steady, industrious pace rooted in the agricultural traditions of the settlers who first broke this heavy sod. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest, with grain elevators rising like sentinels above the houses, defining the skyline as clearly as any spire. A deep Scandinavian heritage informs the character of the place, visible in the community’s quiet resilience and the orderly layout of its streets. Residents often travel the short distance to Lake Benton to find respite by the water, maintaining a connection to the geography that has sustained the area for generations. Life in Tyler moves with a deliberate, measured gravity, reflecting a history of hard work and the persistent, quiet beauty of a life lived close to the land.

About This Tyler Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tyler, Minnesota. Coordinates: 44.2783, -96.134755. 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 Tyler includes the ZIP code (56178), telephone area code (320), county seat of Lincoln County (Ivanhoe), and school district assignment (RTR Public Schools).

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.
