Explore Marion, 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 Marion, 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 Marion.
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.

Marion occupies a wide, level expanse of the northern plains where the horizon pulls the eye toward an immense, unburdened sky. It lies 27.5 miles southeast of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 140°T), and is situated 26.8 miles southwest of Valley City. The landscape around Marion consists of vast, open fields that shift in color from the pale gold of ripening wheat to the deep, dark brown of turned earth, broken only by the occasional shelterbelt of trees or the subtle dip of the terrain. Eight miles to the west, the land yields to the slight depression of Dry Coulee, while the James River meanders through the broader regional topography, carving a slow path through the prairie soil. The air here holds a crisp, dry clarity that sharpens the edges of every fence line and silo, especially at dusk, when the light turns a bruised violet and the silence of the plains becomes a physical weight.
Agriculture defines the pulse of life in Marion, with the seasonal rhythms of sowing and harvest dictating the pace of the days. The proximity to the Lamoure County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for migratory birds, whose seasonal movements provide the only true interruption to the stillness of the fields. While the nearest water can be found twelve miles away at Twin Lakes, the economy remains rooted firmly in the productivity of the soil rather than the aquatic resources. Residents of Marion maintain a quiet resilience, living in a space where history is measured in generations of farmsteads and the slow, steady transformation of the prairie. The collective character of the people reflects the endurance required to inhabit a landscape that offers little shelter from the wind, yet provides a profound, unobstructed view of the changing seasons.

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.
