2017 Map of Vang

About this map

Vang and the surrounding high ground of Cavalier County are defined by the intricate carving of the Pembina River and its tributaries. In this modern survey, the landscape reveals a clear distinction between the flat, agricultural tablelands and the deeply eroded valley systems. Named peaks such as Kjemhus Hill, Three Sisters Hill, and Norman Otto Hill rise above the drainage of the Little North Pembina River, illustrating the topographical complexity of this corner of North Dakota. The settlement of Pembina Valley sits within this low-lying river corridor, while Vang itself occupies a more exposed position to the west. Local landmarks like Trappers Ridge and Point Kneeshaw provide specific points of reference for those studying the physical geography and land-use patterns of the region's northern reaches.
