How to Use This Spiritwood, North Dakota Map

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

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.

Spiritwood claims a position upon the vast, unyielding reach of the high prairie, where the horizon stretches into a thin, pale line of perpetual distance. It lies 10.2 miles east of Jamestown, ND (from Jamestown, ND: bearing 80°T), and is situated 23.3 miles west of Valley City. The land here is defined by a rigorous, horizontal geometry, broken only by the sudden, low-slung undulations of the earth that lead toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Grasshopper Hills. To the north, the terrain softens into the subtle depressions of the landscape, where the Stutsman County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for migratory wings that cut through the immense, heavy sky. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, searching quality, bleaching the tall grasses to a brittle gold and casting long, indigo shadows that seem to swallow the very ground as evening approaches. Moisture gathers in the quiet, tucked-away corners of the terrain, feeding the nearby Nine Lake and lending a cool, damp scent to the air that persists even when the wind turns dry.

Spiritwood operates as a solitary outpost of industry and endurance, its lifeblood inextricably bound to the cycles of the soil and the iron pulse of the nearby railway. The history of Spiritwood remains etched into the spare, functional architecture of its grain elevators, which stand as sentinels over a local economy rooted in the cultivation of wheat and the patient stewardship of the fields. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the James River carves a slow, deliberate path through the earth, while the subtle indentation of Sevenmile Coulee offers a break in the otherwise relentless expanse of the plains. Life here moves with the deliberate, measured pace of a season, indifferent to the clamor of the wider world, favoring instead the quiet, hard-won stability of a place that has learned to thrive in the shadow of an enormous, empty heaven.

About This Spiritwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Spiritwood, North Dakota. Coordinates: 46.936099, -98.495648. 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 includes the ZIP code (58481), 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.
