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

It lies 74.9 miles west of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 278°T), and is situated 11.3 miles east-southeast of Devils Lake. The landscape around Crary unfolds in subtle, grass-covered swells, occasionally interrupted by the quiet intrusion of East Devils Lake just two miles to the north. In the distance, the silhouette of Devils Lake Mountain rises against the light, a singular interruption in the otherwise level topography. The air here holds a distinct crispness, often carrying the scent of dry soil and the faint, persistent chill of the northern winds that sweep across the open prairie, undisturbed by any significant woodland or shadow.
Agriculture defines the pulse of Crary, as the rhythm of the seasons is marked by the cycle of planting and harvest across the surrounding fertile fields. The economy remains deeply rooted in these vast, cultivated expanses, a heritage that persists despite the shifting demands of modern industry. Residents find a quiet connection to the land at the nearby Crary SCA, a space that preserves the natural character of the region. Though the Sheyenne River flows nineteen miles away, the life of Crary is shaped more immediately by the intimate, day-to-day stewardship of the soil and the profound solitude found in the empty spaces that define this corner of the state.

About This Crary Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Crary, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.070835, -98.638443. 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 Crary includes the ZIP code (58327), telephone area code (701), county seat of Ramsey County (Devils Lake), and school district assignment (Devils Lake Public School District 1).
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.
