Explore Solen, 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 Solen, 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 Solen.
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.

Solen emerges from the expanse of the North Dakota plains like a quiet collection of structures anchored against the persistent, sweeping wind. It lies 29.0 miles south of Bismarck, ND (from Bismarck, ND: bearing 181°T), and is situated 30.6 miles south of Mandan. The Cannonball River carves a serpentine path near Solen, its banks lined with weathered cottonwoods that lean away from the prevailing gusts, while ten miles to the west, the rugged silhouette of The Hogback rises against the vast, pale sky. In the late afternoon, the light here loses its sharp edges, turning the prairie grasses into a sea of muted gold that seems to hold the warmth of the day long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. The air carries a singular, dry clarity, unburdened by the noise of denser places, allowing the silence of the high plains to settle into the marrow of the land.
Solen endures as a place defined by the slow, deliberate pulse of agricultural life and the deep heritage of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons and the cycle of the soil, with the landscape bearing the quiet marks of generations who have navigated the thin line between survival and cultivation. Residents often look toward the Oaha Recreation Area, five miles away, or the nearby waters of Lake Oahe as markers of the changing year, places where the land meets the reservoir in a stark, unadorned beauty. History in Solen is not a matter of plaques or monuments, but rather the inherited knowledge of the prairie and the endurance of a culture that persists in the shadow of the open sky, where the scale of the earth makes every human effort seem both small and profoundly significant.

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.
