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

ZIP code: 58329.Dunseith emerges from the vast, open prairie where the horizon stretches into an enormous, unyielding sky that dictates the rhythm of the day. It lies 69.3 miles northeast of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 54°T), and is situated 17.5 miles east of Bottineau. Willow Creek winds its way through the landscape, a quiet artery of water marking the transition between the flat, expansive plains and the rising elevations that define the region. Only a mile away, the quiet waters of Schutte Lake hold the stillness of the afternoon, reflecting a light that turns brittle and golden as it touches the tall, dry grasses. To the north, the Turtle Mountains loom as a dark, rugged silhouette against the clouds, while the North Dakota State Forest Service Land provides a sanctuary of scrub and timber that breaks the monotony of the cultivated fields.
Dunseith carries the weight of a history rooted in the grit of agricultural labor and the endurance of those who first broke this heavy soil. The local economy persists through the cycles of the harvest, tethered to the land that spreads toward the distant Shell Valley and the timbered reaches of the Homen State Forest. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a season, marked by the arrival of snow or the sudden, intense heat of a prairie summer. Residents move between the scattered structures and the surrounding plains with a familiarity born of long winters, finding a particular beauty in the way the twilight deepens the color of the earth, turning the gray stubble of the fields into a landscape of shadow and memory.

About This Dunseith Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dunseith, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.813057, -100.060968. 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 Dunseith includes the ZIP code (58329), telephone area code (701), county seat of Rolette County (Rolla), and school district assignment (Dunseith 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.
