How to Use This York, North Dakota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for York, 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 York.
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: 58386.York occupies a broad, silent expanse of the northern plains where the horizon stretches thin and taut, pulling the eye toward the distant silhouette of The Buttes. It lies 79.4 miles east of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 85°T), and is situated 19.8 miles east of Rugby. The sky here possesses a heavy, luminous quality, pressing down upon the tall grasses and the flat, sun-bleached earth that defines the character of the Benson County Waterfowl Production Area just a short distance away. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, the air holds a dry, sharp clarity, revealing the subtle shifts in the terrain that slope toward the shallow depressions of Mud Lake. The land is a study in vast, monochromatic patience, where the wind leaves patterns in the dust and the light at dusk turns the stubble fields into a bruised, metallic gold.
York maintains a steady, internal rhythm, deeply tethered to the cycles of the harvest and the resilience required by a life lived in the path of the seasons. The economy remains rooted in the deep, dark soil of the prairie, where the labor of agriculture defines the passage of time and the collective memory of the families who have long worked these tracts. While Mauvais Coulee runs far to the west, its influence is felt in the wider regional drainage that dictates the fertility of the surrounding grain fields. The atmosphere of York is one of profound stillness, where the absence of dense development allows the sheer scale of the landscape to command attention, fostering a local identity built on endurance and the quiet, unyielding grace of the open plains.

About This York Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of York, North Dakota. Coordinates: 48.312777, -99.573468. 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 York includes the ZIP code (58386), telephone area code (701), county seat of Benson County (Minnewaukan), and school district assignment (Leeds Public School District 6).
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.
