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

The horizon stretches wide and uncluttered, broken only by the rising slope of Inspiration Peak just three miles away, which offers a perspective on the vast, open sky rarely found in more crowded latitudes. A short mile from the center of Urbank, the stillness of Lake Jessie mirrors the changing light of the afternoon, holding the amber glow of a setting sun against the dark, cooling earth.

The local rhythm is measured by the harvest and the slow, deliberate work of maintaining the land, a labor that echoes the endurance of the settlers who first claimed these fields. Beyond the immediate farms, the winding path of County Ditch Number Sixty traces a line through the landscape, providing essential drainage that allows the surrounding acreage to flourish despite the severity of the long, deep winters. Life in Urbank maintains a steady, unadorned consistency, where neighbors recognize one another in the quiet aisles of the general store and the character of the community remains as solid and unpretentious as the dark, turned furrows of the fields.

About This Urbank Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Urbank, Minnesota. Coordinates: 46.122739, -95.511986. 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 Urbank includes the ZIP code (56361, 56588), telephone area code (320), county seat of Otter Tail County (Fergus Falls), and school district assignment (Parkers Prairie 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.
