Explore Ferdinand, Idaho, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ferdinand, Idaho. 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 Idaho 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 Ferdinand.
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.

Ferdinand occupies a high, expansive plateau where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the sun in a single, lingering gulp. It lies 35.1 miles east-southeast of Lewiston, ID (from Lewiston, ID: bearing 121°T), and is situated 20.2 miles northwest of Grangeville. The land around Ferdinand consists of vast, open fields that roll with the slow, deliberate pulse of the prairie, punctuated by the quiet persistence of Meadow Creek as it carves its path just two miles away. Beyond the immediate sweep of the plains, the distant, serrated edge of the Bitterroot Range haunts the eastern sky, a jagged reminder of the tectonic weight that shaped this high country. The air here carries a crisp, thin clarity, often smelling of dry bunchgrass and the cooling earth that waits beneath the wide Idaho sky.
Ferdinand maintains a rhythm defined by the seasonal turning of the soil and the steady, quiet labor of agriculture that has anchored the locality since its early settlement. The economy remains rooted in the deep, fertile earth, with vast grain fields creating a patchwork of gold and stubble that shifts color with the passing months. Residents look toward the nearby Idaho Department of Lands for managed access to the wilder stretches of the region, while the basin of Icicle Flat provides a subtle, low-lying contrast to the elevated plains. Though the surface of Mud Springs Reservoir sits ten miles distant, the presence of water—whether in the seasonal flow of the creeks or the deep, hidden moisture of the soil—governs the life of Ferdinand, grounding its history in the simple, necessary work of the harvest.

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.
