How to Use This Wanamingo, Minnesota Map

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

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 Wanamingo, Minnesota

Wanamingo is a locality in Goodhue County, Minnesota, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,113. The population density is 300.3 people per km².

Wanamingo unfolds across a landscape of expansive, productive earth, defined by the steady, winding passage of Shingle Creek as it cuts through the local topography. It lies 21.2 miles east-southeast of Northfield, MN (from Northfield, MN: bearing 120°T), and is situated 6.0 miles west of Zumbrota. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, often sharpening the edges of the horizon where the distant rise of West Florence Ridge provides a muted, violet-gray backdrop to the prairie sky. Beyond the immediate reach of the township, the Woodbury State Wildlife Management Area offers a quiet sanctuary of native grasses and brush, serving as a vital corridor for local fauna that move through the changing seasons. The light during the late afternoon possesses a particular, heavy gold quality, casting long shadows across the fields and imbuing the rural terrain with a sense of deliberate, grounded permanence.

Wanamingo sustains itself through a deep-seated connection to the land, where the rhythms of agriculture and small-scale enterprise dictate the pace of the calendar year. The history of the region is etched into the sturdy architecture and the quiet industry of the residents, who maintain a legacy of resilience built upon the fertile soil of the surrounding plains. While the pace of life remains measured, the influence of the nearby Woodbury State Wildlife Management Area and the proximity to the waters of Shady Lake encourage a culture that values the outdoors as much as the productivity of the local economy. On quiet evenings, the sound of the wind moving over the open fields near Shingle Creek serves as a constant reminder of a geography that remains largely indifferent to the frantic speed of modern life, favoring instead the steady, cyclical patience of the seasons.

About This Wanamingo Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wanamingo, Minnesota. Coordinates: 44.304409, -92.790475. 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 Wanamingo includes the ZIP code (55983), telephone area code (218), county seat of Goodhue County (Red Wing), and school district assignment (Kenyon-Wanamingo 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.
