How to Use This Clifford, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Clifford occupies a vast, horizontal expanse of the northern plains where the sky asserts itself as the dominant feature of the day. It lies 40.5 miles northwest of West Fargo, ND (from West Fargo, ND: bearing 324°T), and is situated 32.3 miles north-northwest of Casselton. The horizon stretches in an unbroken line, interrupted only by the occasional silhouette of a grain elevator or the rhythmic swaying of wheat under a wide, pale sun. Just two miles to the east, the Elm River meanders through the landscape, its banks providing a subtle, shaded refuge from the relentless openness of the prairie. A mile away, the Traill County Waterfowl Production Area offers a quiet sanctuary for migratory birds, their calls punctuating the stillness that settles over the fields when the wind finally relents.

Clifford reflects the enduring patience of those who settled this land to cultivate the deep, dark soil that defines the regional economy. The rhythm of life here remains tied to the cycles of harvest and dormancy, a legacy of the agrarian ambition that first drew pioneers to these fertile stretches. While the pace of the modern world feels distant, the presence of Golden Lake eighteen miles away serves as a reminder of the glacial remnants that shaped the character of the terrain. Residents of Clifford maintain a quiet resilience, finding a distinct, austere beauty in the way the twilight deepens the shadows across the stubble fields, turning the earth a bruised, contemplative purple before the stars claim the empty, enormous sky.
