2011 Map of Venlo

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through this North Dakota landscape, carving a prominent valley across the terrain. Located in Ransom County, the small settlement of Venlo sits along the northern edge of this grid-heavy rural area. The river's path is the most defining natural feature, creating a break in the uniform section lines that dominate the surrounding agriculture. A few key crossings and landmarks punctuate the landscape, notably Heaton Bridge on the western edge and the elevated terrain of Pigeon Point in the northeast corner. This map captures the intersection of the natural river corridor with the strict township-and-range road system, including routes like 64th St Se and 140th Ave Se. It reflects the 21st-century state of this rural prairie region, where land management and hydrography remain central to local geography.
