How to Use This Leith, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Leith emerges from the vast, open prairie as a collection of structures held fast against the relentless, enormous sky. It lies 48.0 miles southwest of Mandan, ND (from Mandan, ND: bearing 228°T), and is situated 51.1 miles southwest of Bismarck. The landscape around Leith consists of wide, arid plains that stretch toward the horizon, broken only by the modest rise of Spring Hill two miles to the west. Boxelder Creek cuts a quiet, unassuming path through the terrain just a mile away, its presence marked by a thin line of hardy vegetation that survives the extremes of the seasons. During the late afternoon, the light here turns a bruised, honeyed gold, casting elongated shadows that emphasize the stark, unadorned geometry of the earth. The air holds a dry, sharp clarity, carrying the scent of parched grasses and the distant, cooling promise of a storm that never quite arrives.

Agriculture remains the slow, steady pulse of life in Leith, where the economy is tethered to the cycles of the soil and the temperament of the climate. Settlers arrived here with the ambition of carving a living from the stubborn, fertile dirt, leaving behind a legacy of resilience that persists in the few remaining silhouettes of grain silos and weathered wood. Though the pace of modern industry has largely bypassed these quiet acres, the memory of hard labor remains etched into the character of the place. Those seeking a reprieve from the isolation often travel eighteen miles to reach Lake Tschida, a recreational area that offers a rare, reflective stillness in the landscape. Leith persists as a place of profound solitude, where the days pass with a rhythmic, predictable gravity, indifferent to the hurried world beyond its borders.

About This Leith Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Leith, North Dakota. Coordinates: 46.35834, -101.63653. 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 Leith includes the ZIP code (58529), telephone area code (701), county seat of Grant County (Carson), and school district assignment (Roosevelt Public 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.
