Explore Dazey, 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 Dazey, 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 Dazey.
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.

Dazey emerges from the vast, open prairie as a quiet collection of structures held fast against the immense, shifting light of the North Dakota sky. It lies 30.7 miles northeast of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 51°T), and is situated 20.7 miles north-northwest of Valley City. The horizon here is vast and unencumbered, drawing the eye toward the distant, hazy suggestion of the Grasshopper Hills that anchor the far western view. Within three miles, the land finds a different rhythm near Silver Creek, where the low banks gather the runoff of the plains, and the nearby Barnes County Waterfowl Production Area offers a sanctuary for the seasonal migrations that define the local wild. The air carries a sharp, clean clarity that intensifies as the sun dips low, casting long, violet shadows across the fields that seem to amplify the stillness of the earth.
Dazey persists as a consequence of the rail lines that once dictated the pulse of agricultural commerce, serving as a quiet witness to the generations who broke this heavy soil. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of grain and the patient labor of the harvest, a discipline that shapes the character of those who remain. Nearby, the waters of Lake Benson provide a still mirror to the changing seasons, grounding the landscape in a perennial, quiet resilience. Life in Dazey moves with an intentional, measured pace, defined less by the frantic speed of modern transit and more by the enduring requirements of the land itself, where the rustle of dry grass and the distant, rhythmic hum of machinery provide the only constant soundtrack to the day.

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.
