How to Use This Maxbass, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Maxbass remains a quiet sentinel amidst the vast, unyielding expanse of the northern plains. It lies 34.5 miles north-northeast of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 12°T), and is situated 22.4 miles north-northeast of Minot AFB. The horizon stretches thin and flat, a pale line where the earth surrenders to an enormous, light-filled sky that shifts from bruised violet to pale gold as the sun retreats. Only a mile away, the Bottineau County Waterfowl Production Area offers a sanctuary of grasses and wetlands, while the nearby Cut Bank Creek carves a subtle, winding path through the soil. The air here holds a crisp, dry clarity that sharpens the edges of every fence post and grain bin, rendering the landscape with a stark, meditative precision that demands stillness from those who walk its perimeter.

Maxbass emerged from the ambitions of the early twentieth-century rail expansion, establishing a character defined by the sturdy, practical rhythms of agriculture. The local economy persists as a reflection of the seasonal cycle, where the success of the harvest dictates the pulse of daily life. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the terrain remains tethered to the quiet labor of the fields, a legacy that persists in the austere, enduring architecture of the storefronts. Residents navigate the distance to Unit 332 Reservoir as a common journey for recreation, yet the true spirit of the locality is found in the communal patience required to thrive in such an open, exposed geography.

About This Maxbass Map Page

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.
