Explore Bantry, North Dakota, 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 Bantry, 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 Bantry.
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.

Bantry holds the vast, pale stillness of the northern plains, where the horizon stretches out in a flat, unyielding line that seems to divide the earth from the immense, hollowed-out sky. It lies 36.4 miles east-northeast of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 59°T), and is situated 33.2 miles east of Minot AFB. The land here is a quiet expanse of cultivated soil and wild prairie, punctuated by the subtle, rhythmic shifts of the season that turn the stubble of autumn into the deep, drifted silence of winter. Five miles to the west, the Souris River carves a sluggish, meandering path through the earth, a dark ribbon of water that provides a slow pulse to the surrounding terrain. To the north, the trees of the Mouse River State Forest North Unit gather in dark, dense patches, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Henderson Hills marks the far edge of the world, a fragile blue smudge against the afternoon light.
Agriculture defines the pulse of Bantry, as the life of the inhabitants remains tethered to the slow turn of harvest and the patient labor of the soil. The J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge serves as a vital sanctuary just three miles away, drawing migratory birds that fill the air with a sudden, wild clamor before vanishing back into the stillness of the wetlands. Life in Bantry moves with the deliberate weight of a place that has seen the rise and fall of rail lines and the quiet consolidation of homesteads, leaving behind a landscape that feels both deeply settled and profoundly solitary. Near the Unit 320 Reservoir, the air often carries the sharp, clean scent of dry grass and cooling damp, a reminder of the elemental forces that have long dictated the rhythms of those who endure the long, bright stretches of the North Dakota day.

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.
