How to Use This Berthold, North Dakota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Berthold, 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 Berthold.

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.

Berthold emerges from the vast, open expanse of the North Dakota prairie, a place defined by an enormous, unrelenting sky that shifts in color from pale cerulean to a bruised, deepening violet as evening approaches. It lies 21.0 miles west-northwest of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 286°T), and is situated 20.3 miles west-southwest of Minot AFB. The landscape surrounding Berthold consists of expansive, level plains that stretch toward the horizon, punctuated only by the subtle depression of Arnold Coulee and the distant, quiet rise of Murphy Hill. Four miles away, the Ward County Waterfowl Production Area serves as a sanctuary for migratory life, where the air vibrates with the sudden, rhythmic rush of wings rising from the tall grasses. The earth here is firm and ancient, its texture composed of dark, fertile soil that seems to hold the weight of the sun long after the light has begun to fade, casting long, lean shadows across the fields.

Berthold carries the legacy of homesteaders who carved their lives into the stubborn sod, building an economy tied firmly to the cycles of the grain harvest and the modern pulse of the energy industry. Life in Berthold moves to the deliberate cadence of the seasons, where the movement of heavy machinery through the fields mirrors the distant, industrious hum of the regional oil patch. While the currents of the Des Lacs River flow nine miles away and the waters of the Des Lacs Reservoir sit eight miles distant, the life of the people remains centered on the hard work of agriculture and the maintenance of a resilient, close-knit independence. There is a singular beauty in the way the town stands against the elements, a collection of structures held together by the quiet endurance of those who recognize the value of this high, wind-swept plain.
