How to Use This Karlsruhe, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Karlsruhe emerges from the vast, open prairie as a quiet collection of structures defined by the immense, unobstructed sky that dominates the horizon. It lies 32.7 miles east-southeast of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 107°T), and is situated 34.6 miles west-southwest of Rugby. The landscape surrounding Karlsruhe is characterized by subtle shifts in elevation, where the earth stretches flat and wide, punctuated only by the distant, jagged silhouette of Hogback Ridge to the south. A mile away, the Wintering River winds through the terrain, its presence marked by the shifting colors of riparian grasses that turn from a pale, sun-bleached yellow to a deep, dormant brown as the seasons cycle. A mile in the opposite direction, the Mchenry County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for migratory birds, their seasonal movements adding a fleeting, rhythmic vitality to the stillness of the plains.

German-Russian heritage remains etched into the character of Karlsruhe, reflecting the resilience of those who first settled these demanding, productive lands. The local economy is tied inextricably to the rhythms of agriculture, with the cycles of planting and harvest dictating the pace of life for those who remain to tend the soil. Beyond the reach of immediate development, Herrington Lake sits five miles distant, offering a quiet, reflective surface that mirrors the expansive clouds drifting overhead. Life in Karlsruhe moves with a deliberate, steady consistency, marked by the long shadows of late afternoon that stretch across the fields and the persistent, whistling wind that carries the scent of dry earth and ripening grain.

About This Karlsruhe Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Karlsruhe, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.090006, -100.62042. 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 Karlsruhe includes the ZIP code (58744), telephone area code (701), county seat of McHenry County (Towner), and school district assignment (Velva 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.
