2024 Map of Venlo

About this map

Venlo serves as a central reference point in this portion of Ransom County, where the agricultural grid meets the protected landscape of the Sheyenne National Grassland. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Sheyenne River, which cuts through the northwest and northeast corners of the quadrangle. A notable geographic feature, Pigeon Point, overlooks the river valley in the north, providing a rare break in the local elevation. The modern recreational footprint is visible through the North Country National Scenic Trl, which meanders across the eastern half of the map, weaving between the protected grasslands and the established township lines. This landscape illustrates the persistent transition between active prairie ranching and conservation areas in eastern North Dakota.
