2014 Map of McVille

About this map

McVille anchors the southeast corner of this Nelson County landscape, serving as a hub of local transport and commerce defined by its grid of streets including S Main St and E McDougall Ave. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the distinct glacial topography of the prairie pothole region, where numerous wetlands such as Olsen Slough, Berkland Slough, and Dahl Slough dot the section lines. These water bodies, along with the drainage of Silver Cr and McVille Coulee, dictate the layout of the rural road network. For those tracing family histories in the area, the map preserves the locations of the McVille Cem and the more remote Hamlin Cem to the northwest. The presence of the McVille Municipal Airport adjacent to the town site reflects the continued importance of regional connectivity in this agricultural heartland.
