How to Use This Spiritwood Lake, North Dakota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Spiritwood Lake, 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 Spiritwood Lake.
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.

ZIP code: 58401.Spiritwood Lake reflects the immense, unblinking dome of the North Dakota sky, its basin cradled by the subtle, glacial contours of the surrounding prairie. It lies 13.1 miles north-northeast of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 29°T), and is situated 28.9 miles west-northwest of Valley City. The terrain here is defined by a rhythmic, undulating openness, where grasses transition into the dark, fertile soil that characterizes the regional plains. On the horizon, the faint, hazy silhouettes of the Grasshopper Hills provide a muted boundary to the vast expanse, while the water itself remains a quiet, persistent presence against the relentless golden light of the plains. A mile away, the Spiritwood Lake offers a protected sanctuary of wild, unmanicured greenery that anchors the landscape, grounding the ethereal quality of the light in the raw, tangible earth of the high plains.
Spiritwood Lake remains a focal point for a regional economy deeply tethered to the cycles of agriculture and the cautious stewardship of its natural resources. Historically, the area emerged as a quiet intersection for those settling the interior, far removed from the more turbulent currents of the James River, which flows steadily nine miles to the west. Life here maintains a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the seasonal shifts that dictate the rhythm of the local grain harvest and the quiet migrations of prairie wildlife. The character of the locality is forged in the persistence of its inhabitants, who find a particular, understated dignity in the long, horizontal lines of the prairie and the enduring, stillness of the water that defines their home.

About This Spiritwood Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Spiritwood Lake, North Dakota. Coordinates: 47.079627, -98.58595. 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 Spiritwood Lake includes the ZIP code (58401), telephone area code (701), county seat of Stutsman County (Jamestown), and school district assignment (Barnes County North Public School District 7).
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.
