2024 Map of Orr

About this map

Orr and McCanna anchor this portion of the northern plains, reflecting the enduring agricultural grid of eastern North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Branch Turtle River and its tributary, Whisky Creek, which cut across the geometric township lines. These waterways provide a natural counterpoint to the rigid sections of the Public Land Survey System, such as t153n r55w. A significant portion of the western terrain is dedicated to conservation at the Grand Forks County Waterfowl Production Area, a vital habitat in this prairie pothole region. The map reveals a dense network of local routes, including 30th Ave NE and 40th St NE, that facilitate the movement of goods and people between the small grain-handling settlements and the surrounding farmstead sections.
