Explore Casselton, 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 Casselton, 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 Casselton.
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.

Casselton occupies a flat, expansive stretch of the Red River Valley where the horizon functions as a vast, unbroken line separating the black earth from an enormous, shifting sky. It lies 14.8 miles west of West Fargo, ND (from West Fargo, ND: bearing 277°T), and is situated 20.0 miles west of Fargo. The landscape around Casselton remains defined by this singular, horizontal severity, an ancient lake bed turned to fertile soil that absorbs the amber glow of late afternoon with a heavy, muted intensity. A mile from the center of the town, the thin, brush-lined channel of Swan Creek traces a quiet path through the fields, offering a slender green interruption to the monochrome rhythm of the plains. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the terrain persists in its quiet, level persistence, occasionally interrupted by the distant, hazy silhouette of grain elevators that stand as sentinels against the weather.
Agriculture provides the steady, seasonal pulse that dictates the pace of life in Casselton, where the labor of the harvest colors the mood of the autumn months. The town emerged from the expansion of the rail lines, and the persistent hum of the tracks still serves as a reminder of the commerce that first tethered this place to the wider world. While residents might travel ten miles to visit the quiet spaces of Magnolia for a respite in the tallgrass, or occasionally make the sixteen-mile trek to the shores of Lake Bertha, the local identity remains firmly rooted in the productivity of the surrounding farms. Even as the modern economy shifts, the character of Casselton stays tied to the resilience of those who tend the soil, maintaining a quiet, functional grace amidst the vast, open silence of the plains.

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.
