How to Use This Briarwood, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Briarwood emerges from the flat, expansive horizon of the North Dakota prairie, defined by the steady, northward migration of the Red River of the North. It lies 6.3 miles south of Fargo, ND (from Fargo, ND: bearing 183°T), and is situated 6.2 miles south-southwest of Moorhead. The landscape stretches in a vast, uninterrupted expanse where the sky claims more territory than the earth, offering a clarity of light that turns the golden stalks of late-summer wheat into shimmering amber. A mile from the town center, the quiet expanse of Eagle Pointe Park 1 provides a sanctuary of native grasses and wind-bent cottonwoods, their leaves shivering in a constant, low-frequency hum that seems to underscore the stillness of the plains. Even in the height of afternoon, the shadows cast by the shelterbelts are long and sharp, grounding the architecture of the settlement against the overwhelming scale of the empty, enormous sky.

Briarwood persists as a product of the soil and the iron pulse of the regional agricultural economy, where the rhythm of the year is dictated by the planting and the harvest. The proximity of the Red River of the North has historically anchored the settlement, providing a lifeline that allowed early pioneers to carve a foothold into the stubborn, fertile clay. While the modern industry of the state shifts toward the energy fields further west, the character here remains tied to the cycles of the earth and the communal endurance of those who choose to live where the wind carries no scent of anything but dry grass and coming frost. Residents occasionally make the twenty-mile trek to the shores of Blue Eagle Lake, yet the true identity of Briarwood remains rooted in the quiet, stoic labor of the plains, a place where the passage of time is measured not by clocks, but by the slow, seasonal transformation of the horizon.

About This Briarwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Briarwood, North Dakota. Coordinates: 46.786075, -96.797027. 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 Briarwood includes the ZIP code (58104), telephone area code (701), county seat of Cass County (Fargo), and school district assignment (Fargo Public School District 1).

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.
