Velva sits at a strategic bend in the Souris River, where the river valley carves through the North Dakota plains. The community is anchored by a grid that includes Central Ave E and Main St N, while the surrounding landscape is defined by drainage features like Bonnes Coulee and Oak Cr. To the north, the small Linrud Airstrip provides a rural aviation link, while to the southeast, the terrain shifts near Potters Lake and the winding course of Spring Cr. The map captures the boundary line between Ward Co and McHenry Co, illustrating how the town's footprint interacts with these administrative and geographic borders. Transport across the region is dominated by Us-52, which cuts diagonally across the township, connecting the river valley to the higher ground of the plains.
