Explore Jud, 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 Jud, 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 Jud.
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.

Jud holds its ground against the immense, shifting canvas of the North Dakota prairie, where the horizon stretches thin and taut like a wire pulled across the sky. It lies 28.0 miles south-southwest of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 199°T), and is situated 50.4 miles west-southwest of Valley City. The land here is defined by a slow, rhythmic swell of earth, a subtle topography that holds the golden light of late afternoon long after the sun has begun its descent. To the west, the distant profile of the Streeter Moraine marks the edge of the world, while closer at hand, the terrain softens into the open expanse that defines the local character. A mile away, Cottonwood Creek carves a quiet, seasonal path through the soil, its banks often silent, while Bone Hill Creek Lake mirrors the vast, cloud-swept expanse just two miles from the center of Jud.
Agriculture remains the pulse of the earth here, with the cycle of planting and harvest dictating the quiet, deliberate pace of the days. The settlement of Jud grew from the iron lines of the railroad, a history still legible in the weathered grain elevators that stand as sentinels over the flat fields. Life here is attuned to the seasons, from the harsh, biting stillness of winter to the sudden, green rush of spring when migratory birds flock to the nearby Lamoure County Waterfowl Production Area. Beyond the immediate fields, the subtle depressions of the Minneapolis Flats suggest the ancient geological weight of the region, grounding the community in a landscape that values endurance over haste and the honest, unadorned beauty of the plains.

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.
