How to Use This Dickinson, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Dickinson sits upon the vast, open prairie where the horizon pulls the eye toward an endless sky. It lies 89.9 miles west of Mandan, ND (from Mandan, ND: bearing 273°T), and is situated 54.5 miles west-southwest of Beulah. The Heart River winds through the landscape just one mile away, carving a modest path through the earth that sustains the grasses. To the west, the Lime Hills rise faintly in the distance, providing a jagged silhouette against the fading light of evening. Edward Arthur Patterson Lake remains a quiet expanse of water only two miles from the center, reflecting the changing colors of the clouds. Jaucees Park offers a local space for stillness, anchoring the immediate surroundings with its grounded, accessible terrain.

Dickinson grew from the expansion of the northern railways, marking a point of arrival for settlers drawn to the promise of the plains. The economy shifted over generations, moving from the steady rhythm of agriculture to the intense, industrious pulse of the energy sector. Oil extraction now plays a significant role in the local narrative, bringing a complex energy to the quiet streets. Workers and families navigate the cycles of these industries, balancing the demands of the modern work week with the endurance required by the climate. The character of the soil and the legacy of the land continue to dictate the pace of life, keeping the focus on productivity and resilience.

Dickinson holds a cultural identity defined by the persistence of those who call these plains home. The atmosphere is quiet, favoring the sound of the wind over the noise of more crowded places, and the light at dusk casts long, sharp shadows across the grid of the streets. While the region is expansive, the sense of community is found in small gatherings and the shared experience of the seasons. Local events often center on the traditions of the northern plains, reflecting the heritage of the people who settled here. Notable figures such as the author Louis L'Amour spent time in the region, drawing inspiration from the stark, honest beauty of the western landscape.

About This Dickinson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dickinson, North Dakota. Coordinates: 46.89278, -102.79596. 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 Dickinson includes the ZIP code (58601, 58602), telephone area code (701), county seat of Stark County (Dickinson), and school district assignment (Dickinson 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.
