How to Use This Oberon, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Oberon emerges from the vast, treeless expanse of the North Dakota prairie like a quiet gathering of grain silos and low-slung rooftops against a sky that seems to possess more weight than the earth itself. It lies 73.7 miles north-northwest of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 342°T), and is situated 20.0 miles southwest of Devils Lake. The horizon here is an unyielding line, broken only by the distant, subtle silhouette of Crow Hill, which marks the edge of the visual field as the sun pulls long, amber shadows across the stubble of harvested fields. Four miles to the east, the Benson County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary where the air vibrates with the sudden, collective ascent of wings, a rhythm of migration that defines the seasonal pulse of the region. The silence of the plains is rarely absolute, often punctuated by the low, insistent rush of wind that carries the scent of dry soil and the distant, cooling promise of the Sheyenne River.

Oberon maintains a steady, deliberate pace tethered to the cycles of the soil, reflecting a history carved by those who first measured their lives against the demands of a demanding, fertile landscape. The local economy remains anchored to the golden geometry of wheat and soy, where the machinery of modern agriculture hums through the long, bright days of autumn. Life here is influenced by the proximity of Twin Lakes, where the water mirrors the shifting bruised purples and pale golds of the twilight, serving as a rare, shimmering interruption to the monochrome horizon. While the geography is shaped by the subtle shifts of Peterson Coulee miles away, the character of the place is defined by the endurance of its inhabitants, who find a quiet, austere beauty in the way the winter light clarifies the lines of the prairie, stripping the world down to its most essential, honest form.

About This Oberon Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oberon, North Dakota. Coordinates: 47.923055, -99.204018. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
