How to Use This East Dunseith, North Dakota Map

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

East Dunseith occupies a stark expanse of the northern plains where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the light of a long, bruising sunset. It lies 73.1 miles northeast of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 53°T), and is situated 19.7 miles east of Bottineau. Low-slung grasses ripple in the constant wind, bowing toward the shallow drainage of Indian Creek, which winds its quiet course just a mile away. To the north, the gentle rise of Butte Saint Paul asserts itself against the sky, a solitary sentinel watching over the immediate terrain. The land here remains porous and open, defined by the seasonal shifts that turn the soil from a deep, frozen iron in winter to a vibrant, verdant dust by mid-summer. Within the immediate vicinity, the Rolette County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for migratory birds, their calls echoing over the quiet surface of Smith Lake as the evening chill settles into the soil.

East Dunseith emerged from the hard-won labor of settlers who recognized the resilience required to coax a living from this unforgiving northern latitude. The local economy persists as a reflection of this endurance, grounded in the seasonal rhythms of agriculture and the cautious extraction of resources that define the broader regional character. Life in East Dunseith moves with a deliberate, measured pace, dictated less by the clock and more by the needs of the fields and the demands of a climate that permits no waste. While the distance to the woodlands of Homen State Forest or the contours of Shell Valley creates a sense of profound isolation, the people maintain a grounded connection to the land. Here, the history of the plains is not a matter of grand monuments, but of the persistence of those who remain to witness the transformation of the seasons across an indifferent, beautiful expanse.

About This East Dunseith Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of East Dunseith, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.865558, -100.016798. 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 East 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.
