How to Use This Wildrose, North Dakota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wildrose, 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 Wildrose.
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: 58795.Wildrose emerges from the high, shivering grasses of the northern plains, where the horizon stretches so wide it seems to pull the very breath from a traveler’s lungs. It lies 38.9 miles north-northeast of Williston, ND (from Williston, ND: bearing 31°T), and is situated 57.4 miles north of Watford City. The land here is an expanse of glacial drift and stubborn soil, characterized by a vast, open sky that shifts from bruised violet to a hard, crystalline blue. Just a mile away, the quiet waters of Rosten Slough mirror the passing clouds, serving as a vital waypoint for the migratory birds that descend upon the Williams County Waterfowl Production Area each season. Beyond the local terrain, the distant silhouette of Smoky Butte marks the edge of the world, anchoring a landscape that remains indifferent to the passing of human time.
Wildrose maintains a quiet resilience, tethered to the rhythmic cycles of agriculture and the subterranean pulse of the Bakken oil patch. While the Little Muddy River winds its way through the broader region seven miles distant, the life of the place remains firmly rooted in the grit of the prairie and the industrious character of those who work its surface. The economy here is measured in bushels and barrels, a stark contrast to the historical echoes of early homesteaders who first broke the tough sod to build a life in isolation. In the cooling light of late afternoon, the grain elevators stand as sentinels over Wildrose, their stark geometric forms casting long, sharp shadows across the gravel roads as the day’s labor fades into the stillness of the evening.

About This Wildrose Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wildrose, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.630584, -103.184351. 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 Wildrose includes the ZIP code (58795), telephone area code (701), county seat of Williams County (Williston), and school district assignment (Nesson Public School District 2).
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.
