How to Use This Sharon, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Sharon occupies a vast, level expanse of the northern plains where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the sun whole. It lies 46.0 miles west-southwest of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 241°T), and is situated 46.5 miles west-southwest of East Grand Forks. The land here remains stubbornly flat, defined by the slow, deliberate movement of the Middle Branch Goose River a mile to the west and the quiet presence of the Steele County Waterfowl Production Area nearby. During the autumn, the light turns a thin, brittle gold, illuminating the stubble of harvested fields and casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the immense solitude of the prairie. To the distant west, the silhouette of Butte Michaud rises faintly against the sky, a singular landmark in a landscape otherwise defined by the relentless reach of the earth meeting the clouds.

Sharon persists as a quiet node of agricultural industry, its rhythm dictated by the cycles of planting and the heavy, metallic grain elevators that stand as sentinels over the tracks. The legacy of homesteading persists in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture of the main street and the persistent work of those who till the dark, fertile soil. Residents often traverse the few miles to Pickerel Lake to find a different texture in the land, a brief respite where the water reflects the expansive, unmoving sky. Life in Sharon follows the seasons with a stark, honest gravity, where the wind carries the scent of turned earth and the constant, underlying hum of a working landscape that demands both patience and resilience from those who remain.

About This Sharon Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sharon, North Dakota. Coordinates: 47.597214, -97.893982. 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 Sharon includes the ZIP code (58277), telephone area code (701), county seat of Steele County (Finley), and school district assignment (Finley-Sharon Public School District 19).

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.
