Across the Twin Cities

Minneapolis and Saint Paul anchor a sheet spanning both sides of the Minnesota–Wisconsin border. It reaches west beyond Hutchinson, east across the St Croix into western Wisconsin, north towards St Cloud and south beyond Red Wing. The coverage takes in the metropolitan core together with a broad ring of smaller communities, farmland and lake country.

Landscape and route character

The Mississippi, Minnesota and St Croix river corridors give the area its clearest large-scale geographical structure. Around the conurbation, dense development and connected suburbs sit among numerous lakes; farther out, the view opens into glaciated plains, rolling agricultural ground and patches of woodland. Western Wisconsin becomes more wooded and broken by valleys, while the country to the west and south-west is generally more open. A crossing of the sheet can therefore move quickly from a major urban area to river scenery, lake-studded terrain and rural Upper Midwest landscapes while remaining within the immediate Twin Cities region.

Common questions

What area does the Minneapolis-St Paul Terminal Area Chart cover?

It spans 44.3°N to 45.5°N and 94.5°W to 91.6°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Minnesota and Wisconsin. The full list of public-use airports within its coverage is on this page.

Should I download the GeoTIFF or the PDF?

Take the GeoTIFF if you are loading the chart into moving-map software or a flight planner — it is georeferenced, so the software can place it correctly on a map, and it ships with a world file and FGDC metadata at 300 dpi (13.2 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (26.6 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

Is this the current Minneapolis-St Paul chart?

This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. Visual charts are reissued every 56 days and we publish each new edition on the day it takes effect. It is for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.

Is the Minneapolis-St Paul Terminal Area Chart free to download?

Yes, with no account required. FAA charts are United States Government works and are not subject to copyright protection in the US under 17 U.S.C. § 105. Guest downloads are speed-capped, so a sheet this size takes a while; PRO members download at full line speed and can take the whole family as one archive.
