Explore Prairie Rose, North Dakota, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Prairie Rose, 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 Prairie Rose.
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.

Prairie Rose occupies a vast, level expanse of the northern plains where the horizon pulls the eye toward an infinite, pale blue distance. It lies 4.7 miles south-southwest of Fargo, ND (from Fargo, ND: bearing 208°T), and is situated 5.1 miles southwest of Moorhead. The earth here is composed of dark, heavy soil that seems to hold the memory of ancient grasses, stretching out in a grid of golden wheat and emerald rows that shimmer under the relentless weight of the sun. Just two miles away, the Red River of the North carves a serpentine path through the sediment, its slow, muddy current acting as a quiet artery for the surrounding fields. Within the immediate perimeter of Prairie Rose, Fox Run Park provides a modest sanctuary of native brush and wind-bent trees, offering a place where the stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the dry rustle of stalks or the sudden, sharp cry of a meadowlark.
Agriculture serves as the singular pulse of Prairie Rose, dictating the tempo of the calendar from the first thaw of spring to the final harvest of autumn. The community grew from the steady labor of those who arrived to break the sod, leaving behind a legacy of resilience that persists in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the grain elevators that stand as sentinels against the sky. While the quietude of the plains suggests a world apart, the economy remains tethered to the global movement of commodities, with the local rhythm defined by the heavy rumble of machinery and the seasonal migration of dust. Life in Prairie Rose moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands its own scale, where the cold, biting clarity of winter air often brings a profound, ringing silence that settles over the empty fields and the distant, quiet surface of Maria Lake.

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.
