How to Use This Winthrop, Minnesota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Winthrop, 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 Winthrop.
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 Winthrop, Minnesota
Winthrop is a locality in Sibley County, Minnesota, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,332. The population density is 403.4 people per km². Winthrop is located at 44.5430°N, 94.3664°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Winthrop is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 55396.Winthrop occupies a vast, level expanse of prairie where the horizon remains wide and uninterrupted, pulled taut by the weight of the sky. It lies 16.6 miles north-northeast of New Ulm, MN (from New Ulm, MN: bearing 16°T), and is situated 7.2 miles west of Gaylord.
The earth here is dark and heavy, a deep, fertile soil that dictates the rhythm of the seasons and defines the local economy through the steady, seasonal labor of agriculture. Beyond the edges of the grid, the landscape softens into the depression of the Allen Lakebed, while the Alfsborg State Wildlife Management Area offers a quiet sanctuary of native grasses just a short distance away. High Island Creek meanders through the broader regional geography, carving its path through the silt, and Sand Lake rests nearby, reflecting the pale, shifting light of the upper Midwest. History in Winthrop is written in the sturdy brick of its early storefronts and the quiet persistence of those who settled this plains corridor, creating a life grounded in the cyclical nature of harvest and the long, contemplative hush of winter.

About This Winthrop Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Winthrop, Minnesota. Coordinates: 44.54302, -94.366367. 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 Winthrop includes the ZIP code (55396), telephone area code (612, 952), county seat of Sibley County (Gaylord), and school district assignment (G.F.W.).
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.
