2017 Map of Manvel

About this map

The Manvel community sits at the heart of this Red River Valley landscape, where the winding path of the Turtle River cuts through the geometric grid of agricultural sections. This survey details a transition from traditional river-bank settlement toward modern infrastructure, with the township layout punctuated by significant water management features like County Ditch Number 32 and County Ditch Number 11. Local landmarks include the Saint Timothy Cem to the north and the Heyde Airport just west of the town center, illustrating the blend of historic communal sites and regional aviation needs. Residential developments like River Cove follow the river's bends, while the South Marais River drains the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the organized character of North Dakota's eastern plains, defined by a strict network of section roads and the natural hydrology of the Turtle River basin.
