2011 Map of Velva

About this map

Velva sits at the heart of this North Dakota landscape, situated along the winding curves of the Souris River. The topography of McHenry County is defined by its drainages, where the river's meandering path is joined by several watercourses including Oak Creek, Spring Creek, and the depression of Bonnes Coulee. These features illustrate the natural hydrology of the plains before it transitions into more developed agricultural grids. Outside the primary settlement, the map reveals a systematic network of section roads like 49th St N and 18th Ave N, alongside smaller landmarks such as Potters Lake. This survey provides a clear view of the infrastructure and natural waterways that supported this prairie community in the early 21st century, showing how modern transit corridors such as Prospect Trl and Valley Rd intersect with the traditional township lines.
