How to Use This Kathryn, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Kathryn anchors itself to the quiet floor of the valley where Spring Creek carves a persistent, silver ribbon through the deep, black earth. It lies 38.5 miles east-southeast of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 114°T), and is situated 17.0 miles south of Valley City. The landscape around Kathryn is defined by the expansive, open prairie that stretches toward the horizon, punctuated only by the subtle rise of the terrain and the occasional shelterbelt of trees. On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Whitestone Hills provides a faint, jagged geometry against the sky, while the air maintains a crisp, dry clarity that sharpens the edges of every fence line and silo. The light here is a heavy, golden weight during the late afternoon, turning the grasses into a sea of amber that ripples under the steady, unceasing breath of the plains.

Agriculture dictates the pulse of life in Kathryn, as the rhythms of planting and harvest dictate the comings and goings of the grain trucks that rumble past the local tracks. The heritage of the soil is written in the orderly geometry of the fields, a legacy of the settlers who broke the sod to tame the wilder stretches of the northern plains. Residents often look toward the nearby acreage of Clausen Springs for a respite in the shade, or venture toward Browen Lake when the heat of the summer solstice demands a cooler stillness. While the proximity of the Sheyenne River State Forest offers a deeper, timbered solitude, the daily existence in Kathryn remains tethered to the patient, mechanical hum of farm machinery and the enduring, stoic patience of those who watch the weather shift across the vast, unobstructed sky.

About This Kathryn Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kathryn, North Dakota. Coordinates: 46.678031, -97.968712. 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 Kathryn includes the ZIP code (58049), telephone area code (701), county seat of Barnes County (Valley City), and school district assignment (Valley City Public School District 2).

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.
