How to Use This Robinson, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Robinson sits as a quiet sentinel upon the vast, uninterrupted expanse of the North Dakota prairie, where the horizon pulls the sky down to meet the earth in a seamless, unbroken line. It lies 52.6 miles east-northeast of Bismarck, ND (from Bismarck, ND: bearing 64°T), and is situated 56.6 miles east-northeast of Mandan. The land here is defined by its deep, glacial topography, characterized by low, grassy swells that catch the amber light of late afternoon, casting long shadows that stretch toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Brush Hills. Only three miles away, the waters of Horsehead Lake shimmer under the intense, wide-reaching sun, providing a sanctuary for the migratory birds that pass through the region. The air in Robinson carries a sharp, clean clarity, tasting of dry grass and the immense, uncrowded space that defines this northern plains landscape.

Agriculture serves as the primary pulse of Robinson, with the cycles of planting and harvest dictating the rhythm of the days as surely as the seasonal shifts in temperature. The surrounding fields remain a testament to the persistence of those who cultivate this resilient soil, their tractors and grain bins standing as landmarks against the infinite backdrop of the plains. Residents often find their way toward the Kidder County Waterfowl Production Area to witness the seasonal movement of wildlife, a stark contrast to the distant, quieter flow of Pipestem Creek. In Robinson, the stillness is not an absence of life but a deliberate, slow-moving presence, where the collective memory of the settlers who first broke this sod remains etched into the very way the community organizes its quiet, hardworking existence.

About This Robinson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Robinson, North Dakota. Coordinates: 47.142768, -99.781221. 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 Robinson includes the ZIP code (58478), telephone area code (701), county seat of Kidder County (Steele), and school district assignment (Kidder County School District 1).

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.
