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

Jessie is located at 47.5422°N, 98.2382°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 58452.Jessie anchors itself to the vast, open prairie of North Dakota, where the horizon stretches toward an enormous sky that dictates the mood of the day. It lies 48.9 miles north-northeast of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 27°T), and is situated 49.3 miles southeast of Devils Lake. The landscape around Jessie is defined by the subtle, rhythmic swell of the earth, punctuated two miles away by the quiet waters of Lake Jessie and the protected grasses of the Griggs County Waterfowl Production Area. To the west, the solitary elevation of Butte Michaud breaks the flatness, standing as a landmark against the shifting weather, while the Sheyenne River carves a path through the region seven miles away. In the cooling light of late afternoon, the grasses turn a pale, brittle gold, casting long, thin shadows that seem to hold the silence of the plains in suspension.
Agricultural tradition remains the pulse of Jessie, where the soil dictates the labor and the season determines the movement of the day. The local economy relies on the stubborn fertility of the earth, a heritage that remembers the early settlers who broke the sod and established a life amidst the unpredictable climate. Jessie carries the quiet weight of these cycles, where the work of the fields persists with a steady, unadorned focus. Life here moves in accordance with the turning of the crops and the migration of birds, a slow, deliberate pace that finds beauty in the harsh, clear light of winter and the sudden, vivid green of a short spring.

About This Jessie Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jessie, North Dakota. Coordinates: 47.542218, -98.238152. 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 Jessie includes the ZIP code (58452), telephone area code (701), county seat of Griggs County (Cooperstown), and school district assignment (Griggs County Central School District 18).
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.
