2017 Map of Orr

About this map

The community of Orr sits at the junction of 29th Ave NE and 39th St NE, serving as a central point in this northern Grand Forks County landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the N Br Turtle River, which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by the curiously named Whisky Cr near the settlement of McCanna. This area exhibits the classic Public Land Survey System grid of the American Midwest, where section lines dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Co Rd 14 and numerous numbered avenues. The map captures a primarily agricultural environment, where the drainage patterns of the river branches are the primary interruption to the orderly layout of rural properties and township boundaries.
