How to Use This Gardena, North Dakota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Gardena, 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 Gardena.
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 codes: 58748, 58318.Gardena exists as a quiet punctuation mark upon the vast, open expanse of the North Dakota prairie, where the horizon stretches so thin it seems to pull the very breath from the sky. It lies 48.8 miles northeast of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 48°T), and is situated 9.0 miles south-southwest of Bottineau. The land here leans toward a deep, elemental stillness, characterized by flat stretches of earth that catch the amber light of dusk with a startling, gilded intensity. Two miles away, the modest channel of Oak Creek carves a thin, vital line through the soil, offering a rare sanctuary of riparian growth amidst the endless grain. To the north, the distant silhouettes of the Turtle Mountains rise like a serrated shadow against the clouds, while the nearby J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge serves as a sprawling corridor for migrating wings, underscoring the ancient, undisturbed rhythm of the plains.
Gardena bears the quiet imprint of early homesteading efforts, established when the promise of fertile soil drew settlers to these high, windswept reaches to carve a life from the stubborn sod. Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, with the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest dictating the pace of life as surely as the coming of the frost. While the modern world moves with a frantic, digitized urgency, Gardena maintains a deliberate, grounded character, where the labor of the farm defines the community’s shared purpose. The proximity to the Mouse River State Forest North Unit and the waters of the Unit 320 Reservoir provides a stark contrast to the cultivated fields, reminding those who live here that the wild, unyielding nature of the prairie is never truly far from their doorstep.

About This Gardena Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gardena, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.700837, -100.497639. 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 Gardena includes the ZIP code (58748, 58318), telephone area code (701), county seat of Bottineau County (Bottineau), and school district assignment (Bottineau 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.
