Explore Coleharbor, 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 Coleharbor, 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 Coleharbor.
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.

Coleharbor occupies a quiet stretch of the North Dakota prairie where the horizon pulls the eye toward an immense, unclouded sky. It lies 47.7 miles south of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 176°T), and is situated 32.4 miles northeast of Beulah. The landscape remains defined by the open expanse of grass and grain, a terrain shaped by the slow movement of wind across the plains. Only a mile away, the quiet currents of Wolf Creek carve a slender path through the earth, while the expansive waters of Lake Sakakawea sit just two miles distant, reflecting the shifting hues of the afternoon light. In the far distance, the Prophets Mountains emerge as a faint, jagged silhouette against the fading glow of dusk, grounding the wide geography in a sense of ancient, steady weight.
Coleharbor persists as a place where the rhythm of the day is measured by the seasonal demands of agriculture and the steady hum of local commerce. The history of the region is deeply tied to the land, reflecting a heritage of endurance that remains visible in the sturdy architecture and the deliberate pace of those who work the surrounding fields. Residents often gather near the Sakakawea Recreation Area, where the land offers a brief reprieve from the labor of the harvest and the solitude of the open plains. Here, the economy remains tethered to the pulse of the soil, ensuring that life in Coleharbor continues to favor the quiet, persistent work of the seasons over the frantic velocity of modern industry.

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.
