How to Use This Manvel, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Manvel occupies a stretch of North Dakota where the horizon pulls the eye toward an infinite, flat reach of earth. It lies 12.5 miles north-northwest of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 328°T), and is situated 12.4 miles northwest of East Grand Forks. The Turtle River carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its banks providing a narrow green vein of cottonwoods and brush that cuts across the expanse of the plains. Five miles away, Stewart Lake holds the stillness of the sky in its shallow basin, reflecting the shifting violet and bruised gold of the evening light. To the west, the distant rise of the Altamont Moraine serves as a faint, jagged suggestion of elevation against the vast dome of the atmosphere. The air here carries the dry, clean scent of harvested soil, and the wind moves across the grasses with a persistent, low-frequency hum that defines the silence of the prairie.

Manvel serves as a quiet anchor for the agricultural rhythms that dictate the pace of life in this corner of the state. Grain elevators stand as vertical landmarks, their silhouettes marking the passage of seasons and the yield of the surrounding fields. Residents often travel toward the Grand Forks County Waterfowl Production Area, where the land is left to the marshes and the migratory birds that congregate in the quiet wetlands. The economy remains tethered to the productivity of the soil, a legacy of the early settlers who recognized the potential in this level, unyielding ground. Life here moves in accordance with the cycle of planting and harvest, a measured existence where the scale of the landscape reminds every observer of their own small place within the geometry of the plains.

About This Manvel Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Manvel, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.077762, -97.176465. 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 Manvel includes the ZIP code (58256), telephone area code (701), county seat of Grand Forks County (Grand Forks), and school district assignment (Manvel Public School District 125).

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.
