How to Use This Scranton, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Scranton occupies a quiet expanse of high plains where the horizon stretches into an immense, unbroken arc of pale blue. It lies 53.2 miles south-southwest of Dickinson, ND (from Dickinson, ND: bearing 199°T), and is situated 99.6 miles southeast of Glendive. Buffalo Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth nearby, its banks fringed with hardy grasses that sway in the persistent wind. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Harvey Hills mark the edge of the visual world, while the stillness of Gascoyne Lake offers a singular, reflective mirror for the shifting clouds. The light here has a crystalline quality, sharpening the edges of every fence post and grain bin as the day wanes into a deep, violet dusk.

Scranton remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons and the demanding cycles of agriculture that define the surrounding prairie. Farmers work the dark, fertile soil under a vast sky, continuing a lineage of labor that has persisted since the early days of homesteading in this region. While the economy remains deeply rooted in the harvest and the broader interests of the regional energy sector, life moves with a steady, deliberate pace. Residents might find solitude at Spring Creek, a preserve that protects the quiet character of the land, serving as a reminder of the wilder, untouched prairie that once blanketed this entire corner of the state.
