How to Use This McLeod, North Dakota Map

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

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.

About McLeod, North Dakota

McLeod is a locality in Ransom County, North Dakota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 22. The population density is 11.0 people per km². McLeod is located at 46.3936°N, 97.2995°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 58057.

McLeod sits upon the expansive, open prairie of North Dakota where the horizon pulls the eye toward an immense and unyielding sky. It lies 38.3 miles south-southwest of West Fargo, ND (from West Fargo, ND: bearing 210°T), and is situated 18.5 miles east of Lisbon. The landscape surrounding McLeod is defined by the shifting grasses of the Sheyenne National Grassland, which stretches across the terrain like a tawny, wind-brushed pelt. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Whitestone Hills provides a faint, jagged anchor to the view, while the local earth, marked by sandy soils and pockets of woodland, holds the lingering warmth of the sun long after the light has turned to a bruised, violet gray.

Agriculture and the quiet stewardship of the land sustain the economy here, with the rhythms of McLeod dictated by the slow seasonal turning of the crops and the needs of the surrounding range. The Sheyenne River winds its way through the region some eight miles away, its presence felt in the subtle shifts of vegetation and the cool, damp air that settles in the lowlands at dusk. Residents often look toward Mirror Pool, ten miles distant, as a place of stillness in a region otherwise shaped by the persistent, sweeping breath of the plains. Life here moves with the measured pace of a pendulum, grounded in a history of resilient settlement and a deep, unspoken familiarity with the vast, quiet geography that defines the character of the people.

About This McLeod Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of McLeod, North Dakota. Coordinates: 46.393575, -97.299535. 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 McLeod includes the ZIP code (58057), telephone area code (701), county seat of Ransom County (Lisbon), and school district assignment (Lisbon Public School District 19).

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.
