How to Use This Carpio, North Dakota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Carpio, 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 Carpio.
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.

ZIP code: 58725.Carpio emerges from the high, golden expanse of the North Dakota prairie, a small collection of structures defined by the quiet persistence of the Des Lacs River winding through the lowlands nearby. It lies 24.1 miles northwest of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 307°T), and is situated 17.9 miles west of Minot AFB. Flaten Coulee carves a subtle, ancient depression directly through the landscape, marking the ground with the seasonal patterns of water and wind. The light here possesses a singular, crystalline clarity, sharpening the edges of the grain elevators that stand as sentinels against the vastness of the sky. To the west, the subtle rise of Murphy Hill breaks the horizon, providing a solitary point of reference in an environment that otherwise stretches into an infinite, undulating sea of grass and earth.
Historical echoes of early settlement remain embedded in the local architecture, reflecting a resilience forged by the long winters and the rhythmic demands of an agricultural economy. The proximity of the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge serves as a reminder of the quiet, natural order that governs the region, where the migration of birds often marks the passage of seasons more reliably than any calendar. Residents maintain a steady, measured pace of life, deeply connected to the land that sustains them, whether through the cultivation of the surrounding fields or the management of regional resources. Only six miles away, the waters of Lake Darling offer a reflective stillness to the landscape, grounding Carpio in a geography that values space, silence, and the enduring strength of the northern plains.

About This Carpio Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Carpio, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.442517, -101.714606. 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 Carpio includes the ZIP code (58725), telephone area code (701), county seat of Ward County (Minot), and school district assignment (Lewis and Clark Public School District 161).
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.
