How to Use This Arthur, North Dakota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Arthur, North Dakota. 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 North Dakota 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 Arthur.

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.

Arthur occupies a vast, level expanse of the northern plains where the sky dominates the horizon, pressing down upon the earth with a weight that makes every silo and grain elevator appear as a sentinel against the blue. It lies 21.8 miles northwest of West Fargo, ND (from West Fargo, ND: bearing 317°T), and is situated 14.1 miles north of Casselton. The landscape around Arthur remains defined by the relentless flatness of the Red River Valley, a basin of deep, dark soil that yields to the horizon in a blur of muted greens and browns. Moisture gathers in the low-lying channels of the South Branch Elm River, which snakes through the surrounding fields with a quiet, persistent gravity, while the distant, arid reaches of Erie Dam offer a subtle relief to the otherwise uninterrupted geometry of the farmland. At dusk, the light here stretches thin and pale, casting long shadows that emphasize the solitude of the open fields and the profound silence of the prairie.

Agriculture remains the singular pulse of Arthur, where the seasonal rhythms of sowing and harvest dictate the pace of life and the movement of heavy machinery along the grid of gravel roads. Settlers moved into this region to break the stubborn, fertile sod, establishing a community grounded in the necessity of grain production and the resilience required to survive the biting winters of the interior. The local economy is tied to the strength of the seasonal crop, a cycle that has persisted since the early days of homesteading when the railroad first anchored the region to the wider world. Life in Arthur moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, focused on the maintenance of the land and the quiet endurance of those who continue to work it, ensuring that the legacy of the original settlers remains legible in the orderly rows of corn and wheat that define the neighborhood.

About This Arthur Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Arthur, North Dakota. Coordinates: 47.104144, -97.218143. 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 Arthur includes the ZIP code (58006), telephone area code (701), county seat of Cass County (Fargo), and school district assignment (Northern Cass Public School District 97).

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.
