How to Use This Forest River, North Dakota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Forest River, 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 to zoom in and out.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, 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).

Drag the map to pan to any area of North Dakota or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Forest River and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.

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. 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 Forest River.

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.

About Forest River, North Dakota

Forest River is a locality in Walsh County, North Dakota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 87. The population density is 107.2 people per km². Forest River is located at 48.2153°N, 97.4681°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 58233.

Forest River rests in a landscape of immense, quiet skies, where the vast, open prairie begins its slow, deliberate surrender to the rugged, westward thrust of the badlands. It lies 28.4 miles northwest of Grand Forks, ND (from Grand Forks, ND: bearing 315°T), and is situated 13.9 miles south of Grafton. The Red River Valley's flat expanse, a rich, fertile plain, stretches out to the north, a testament to the ancient glacial lake that once held dominion here. To the west, the land buckles and folds, hinting at the raw power that shaped this terrain, a stark contrast to the gentle, agricultural heart of the region. The air itself carries a certain weight, a deep breath of earth and sky, particularly as the sun begins its descent, painting the horizon in hues of bruised plum and molten gold, a light that feels both ancient and fleeting. The history of Forest River is a story woven from the threads of Lakota and Dakota lands, a place where the Missouri River, a mighty artery of the continent, has long dictated the flow of life and migration. The economic pulse of Forest River, like much of this region, has historically been tied to the land, to the sturdy grain elevators that punctuate the horizon and the enduring spirit of agriculture. Yet, in more recent times, the hum of the Bakken oil patch has introduced a new, more restless energy, a modern counterpoint to the enduring rhythms of farming. This duality defines Forest River, a locality that honors its deep roots while navigating the currents of contemporary change, a place where the vastness of the land seems to encourage both introspection and a pragmatic embrace of what lies ahead.
