How to Use This Frederick, South Dakota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Frederick, South 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 South 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 Frederick.
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: 57441.Frederick emerges from the high, flat horizon of the northern plains, where the open sky dictates the temperament of the land. It lies 25.4 miles north of Aberdeen, SD (from Aberdeen, SD: bearing 358°T), and is situated 57.7 miles southwest of Lisbon. The Maple River carves a quiet, meandering path through the earth nearby, its banks fringed with hardy vegetation that softens the rigid geometry of the surrounding fields. To the west, the subtle rise of Cannon Hill punctuates the distance, while the expansive, golden prairie stretches toward the horizon, unburdened by the clutter of larger metropolises. During the late afternoon, the light here possesses a particular clarity, casting long, thin shadows that lend a sudden, sharp depth to the soil and the stubble of the harvested wheat.
Agricultural cycles define the pulse of Frederick, where the economy remains tethered to the patient rhythm of the seasons and the yield of the surrounding soil. The presence of the Brown County Waterfowl Production Area Of Sd serves as a reminder of the wilder, marshy heritage that persists just a few miles away, providing a sanctuary for migratory birds that navigate the flyways above. Travelers heading toward Elm Lake find a landscape that demands a slower pace, one that values the endurance of small-scale commerce and the quiet resilience of those who cultivate the heavy earth. In this corner of the state, the heritage of the frontier persists not in monuments, but in the persistent, practical labor of the people who maintain the grain elevators and the steady, unpretentious life of the plains.

About This Frederick Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Frederick, South Dakota. Coordinates: 45.832474, -98.506209. 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 Frederick includes the ZIP code (57441), telephone area code (605), county seat of Brown County (Aberdeen), and school district assignment (Frederick Area School District 06-2).
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.
