How to Use This Heil, North Dakota Map

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

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.

About Heil, North Dakota

Heil is a locality in Grant County, North Dakota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 15. The population density is 29.0 people per km². Heil is located at 46.3875°N, 101.6999°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 58533.

Heil emerges from the vast, unyielding prairie as a quiet collection of structures weathered by the relentless passage of seasons. It lies 49.0 miles southwest of Mandan, ND (from Mandan, ND: bearing 232°T), and is situated 52.3 miles west-southwest of Bismarck. The landscape surrounding Heil is defined by the expansive, open plains that stretch toward an enormous, pale sky, punctuated only by the subtle rise of Spring Hill two miles to the west. A few miles away, the modest path of Antelope Creek cuts through the earth, marking a thin, green thread of vegetation across the otherwise tawny expanse. During the long hours of dusk, the light here possesses a particular, honeyed quality, casting long shadows that emphasize the sheer scale of the horizon and the stillness of the dry, crisp air.

Settlers once arrived here with the promise of the railroad, and the remnants of their ambitions remain etched into the architecture and the quiet, empty streets of Heil. The local economy persists in a slow, steady alignment with the rhythms of agriculture, where the cycles of planting and harvest dictate the pace of life far more than the ticking of a clock. While the recreational waters of Lake Tschida are fifteen miles distant, the people here remain tethered to the terrestrial realities of the soil and the wind. History is not a loud or boisterous presence, but rather a quiet, lingering persistence, felt in the way the land is worked and in the enduring, stoic patience of those who still call this place home.

About This Heil Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Heil, North Dakota. Coordinates: 46.387507, -101.699864. 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 Heil includes the ZIP code (58533), telephone area code (701), county seat of Grant County (Carson), and school district assignment (Elgin-New Leipzig Public School District 49).

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.
