How to Use This Montpelier, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Montpelier occupies a quiet stretch of the North Dakota plains where the James River carves a deliberate, winding path through the silt and heavy earth. It lies 15.6 miles south-southeast of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 159°T), and is situated 31.7 miles west-southwest of Valley City. The horizon here is a vast, uncurtained stage, dominated by the weight of an enormous sky that shifts from bruised violet to pale amber as the sun dips behind the distant silhouette of Mount Pleasant. Three miles to the north, the land dips into the shallow, unassuming depression of Streaman Coulee, while the terrain itself remains a disciplined expanse of prairie, occasionally interrupted by the subtle, rhythmic swell of the earth. In the quiet hours, the air carries a crisp, metallic sharpness, cooling rapidly as the shadows of the tall grasses stretch long and thin across the soil.

Montpelier remains defined by the slow, seasonal pulse of agriculture, a heritage rooted in the stubborn endurance of those who first broke the prairie sod. The local economy persists as a reflection of this agrarian lineage, with the surrounding fields acting as the primary engine for a life governed by the harvest and the changing weather. Twelve miles to the south, the Lamoure County Waterfowl Production Area serves as a sanctuary for migratory life, a stark contrast to the utilitarian order of the nearby grain elevators that serve as the town’s vertical landmarks. Eleven miles further, the waters of Wild Rice Slough collect in the basin, providing a stillness that mirrors the deliberate, measured pace of those who make their home in this open country.

About This Montpelier Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Montpelier, North Dakota. Coordinates: 46.70026, -98.590096. 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 Montpelier includes the ZIP code (58472), telephone area code (701), county seat of Stutsman County (Jamestown), and school district assignment (Montpelier Public School District 14).

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.
