Explore Rutland, 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 Rutland, 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 Rutland.
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.

Rutland asserts itself as a disciplined grid of grain elevators and quiet streets rising from the immense, flattened expanse of the North Dakota prairie. It lies 63.8 miles south-southwest of West Fargo, ND (from West Fargo, ND: bearing 207°T), and is situated 34.8 miles northwest of Sisseton. The horizon pulls the eye toward an infinite distance where the sky settles heavy and pale against the earth, broken only by the thin, intermittent veins of the Wild Rice River just two miles away. Sunlight here possesses a particular, unsparing clarity, stripping the shadows from the low, wind-swept grasses and illuminating the distant, subtle rise of Pleasant Peak sixteen miles to the west. A mile from the center, the Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge offers a sanctuary of tall grasses and wetland, providing a stark, wild contrast to the orderly, industrious silence that defines the surrounding fields.
Rutland maintains a steady, rhythmic pulse tied to the seasonal demands of the harvest and the patient turning of the soil. The legacy of those who settled this land persists in the sturdy architecture of the older buildings, which stand as quiet monitors of a local economy built upon the enduring strength of agriculture. Residents look toward the nearby waters of Silver Lake or the distant, mysterious hollow of Marble Gulch as landmarks in a landscape that values utility and persistence above all else. Life in Rutland moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands the gravity of the seasons, where the evening air brings a cooling stillness and the collective memory of the plains informs every measured, purposeful day.

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.
