How to Use This Dunn Center, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Dunn Center emerges from the expansive North Dakota prairie, where Spring Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the heavy earth. It lies 33.7 miles north-northeast of Dickinson, ND (from Dickinson, ND: bearing 14°T), and is situated 43.8 miles southeast of Watford City. The horizon here is dominated by the colossal, empty sky, which shifts from a pale, bleached blue at midday to a bruised, violet intensity as the sun retreats behind the distant, jagged silhouette of the Killdeer Mountains. Only a mile away, the quiet waters of Lake Ilo draw migratory birds to the reeds, creating a sanctuary of stillness that contrasts with the rugged, wind-scoured grain fields stretching toward the horizon. The air carries the scent of dry grass and turned soil, a crisp, thin atmosphere that makes every fence line and telephone pole stand out with startling, lonely clarity against the vastness of the plains.

Dunn Center retains the steady, pragmatic character of a place forged by the demands of agriculture and the volatility of the regional economy. Long before the modern pulse of the energy sector began to hum in the distance, the rhythms of this locality were set by the wheat harvest and the quiet persistence of those who worked the homesteads. The nearby Lake Ilo National Wildlife Refuge serves as a reminder of the land’s original, untamed state, offering a buffer of protected habitat that mirrors the town’s own preservation of a slower, more deliberate way of life. Today, life in Dunn Center moves in accordance with the seasonal cycles of the fields and the shifting demands of the oil patch, maintaining a stoic, unpretentious resolve that defines the residents who continue to build their lives in the shadow of the wide, northern light.

About This Dunn Center Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dunn Center, North Dakota. Coordinates: 47.353624, -102.620462. 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 Dunn Center includes the ZIP code (58626), telephone area code (701), county seat of Dunn County (Manning), and school district assignment (Killdeer Public School District 16).

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.
