How to Use This Pembina, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Pembina occupies a flat expanse of northern prairie where the horizon stretches into an infinite, pale blue arc. It lies 72.6 miles north of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 352°T), and is situated 39.0 miles north of Grafton. The Pembina River carves a serpentine path through the dark, alluvial soil, its sluggish current reflecting the heavy, golden light that settles over the plains as the afternoon wanes. Only a mile away, the stillness of Lake Stella offers a quiet mirror to the vast, empty sky, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Horgan Ridge marks the edge of the world against the northern light. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and coming frost, a crisp reminder of the seasonal extremes that define the character of this northern reach.

Pembina serves as a silent witness to the early fur trade and the shifting borders of the frontier, standing as one of the oldest permanent settlements in the region. The rhythm of life remains tethered to the cycles of agriculture and the steady movement of commerce across the nearby international border. Residents look toward the Pembina County Waterfowl Production Area to witness the seasonal migrations that animate the quiet fields, a natural spectacle that underscores the enduring wildness of the landscape. Life in Pembina moves with a deliberate, measured pace, grounded in a heritage of resilience where the work of the seasons dictates the cadence of the day, leaving the modern world to rush past on the distant highway.

About This Pembina Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pembina, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.966377, -97.243676. 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 Pembina includes the ZIP code (58271), telephone area code (701), county seat of Pembina County (Cavalier), and school district assignment (North Border School District 100).

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.
