2014 Map of Manvel

About this map

Manvel serves as the central hub of this eastern North Dakota landscape, situated at a junction where the natural curves of the Turtle River meet a grid of rural avenues and state infrastructure. The township layout is defined by its agricultural utility, with the South Marais River and engineered waterways like County Ditch Number 32 and County Ditch Number 11 managing the low-lying terrain of the Red River Valley. Local history is anchored by the Saint Timothy Cem north of the main settlement, while the presence of Heyde Airport indicates the importance of local aviation in this sprawling prairie environment. To the southwest, the distinctive wetlands of Kelly Slough break the pattern of the fields, offering a look at the area's original hydrology amidst the modern road network of the 2010s.
