2018 Map of Arvilla

About this map

Arvilla sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section roads and the winding course of the Turtle River, which snakes across the northern portion of the landscape. This area of Grand Forks County shows the intersection of civilian life and military infrastructure, characterized by the expansive footprint of the Grand Forks Air Force Base on the eastern edge. Local aviation is further represented by the Frokjer Airport tucked into a bend of the river. The terrain is defined by low-relief drainage patterns, notably Hazen Brook, which flows through the southern reaches. Recreational and local paths like the Moose Head Trail provide a break from the rigid township and range lines, offering a glimpse into how the local community interacts with the river's edge and the surrounding North Dakota prairie.
