Explore Glenfield, North Dakota, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Glenfield, 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 Glenfield.
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.

Glenfield reveals itself as a quiet assembly of grain elevators and weathered timber, anchored firmly to the vast, unyielding reach of the North Dakota plains. It lies 38.1 miles north of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 10°T), and is situated 26.1 miles east of Carrington. The horizon here is an expansive, pale geometry where the sky exerts a heavy, singular pressure upon the flat earth, interrupted only by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Melby Hills that haunt the western skyline. A profound silence settles over the fallow fields during the long, amber hours of dusk, when the light thins to a brittle gold and the air turns sharp with the scent of dry grass. Four miles away, Baldhill Creek cuts a modest, winding path through the soil, offering a narrow artery of movement in a landscape defined by its stubborn, horizontal stillness.
Glenfield persists as a testament to the cycles of the harvest, its economy forever tied to the stubborn fecundity of the soil and the fluctuating demands of the grain trade. The rhythmic clatter of machinery serves as the local pulse, echoing the labor of those who have worked these acres since the first homesteads were staked in the tallgrass. Beyond the immediate reach of the silos, the Foster County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for migratory life, a stark contrast to the industrious order of the surrounding farmsteads. Even the nearby waters of Stony Lake, resting eight miles from the center of Glenfield, reflect the same muted, iron-gray clouds that have watched over these plains for generations, marking the slow, deliberate passage of time in a place where change is measured by the turning of the seasons rather than the rush of modern enterprise.

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.
