How to Use This Buxton, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Buxton occupies a singular expanse of the Red River Valley, where the horizon stretches toward an infinite, pale-blue dome that seems to compress the earth into a thin, fertile ribbon. It lies 22.5 miles south of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 188°T), and is situated 22.9 miles south of East Grand Forks. The landscape is defined by its unrelenting flatness, a vast geometric grid of black soil that catches the early morning light in a way that turns the stubble of harvested fields into a shimmering, metallic gold. Three miles to the west, the quiet path of Buffalo Coulee traces a subtle depression through the terrain, its banks offering a rare, slender verticality to an otherwise horizontal world. Beyond the immediate fields, the far-off rise of the Altamont Moraine marks the western limit of the view, a faint, serrated shadow against the sky that serves as a permanent reminder of the glacial forces that leveled this ground eons ago.

Buxton thrives on the quiet, methodical industry of agriculture, serving as a vital point of transit for the grain that defines the regional economy. The settlement carries the weight of a history rooted in the expansion of the rail lines, which once dictated the movement of goods and people across these plains and continue to hum with the low vibration of heavy freight. A few miles away, the Malmberg Prairie State Scientific and Natural Area preserves a rare, unplowed remnant of the tallgrass prairie, offering a glimpse of the wild, undulating grasses that dominated this space before the arrival of the plow. Life in Buxton maintains a steady, deliberate pace, dictated by the turning of the seasons and the cycle of the harvest, where the silence of the winter frost gives way to the frantic, dust-choked energy of planting, leaving the residents to navigate a world that is as expansive as it is spare.
