The
neighborhood is centered on Duluth's Vinland Street, where the elementary school, affiliated with Proctor's school district, is located. Vinland Street begins in Proctor as 5th Street, changes its name at the Boundary Avenue intersection (which is the Duluth – Proctor city boundary line), and ends at the "Bayview" intersection.
The "Bayview" intersection in Duluth's Bayview Heights neighborhood is the meeting point for Vinland Street, Getchell Road, Skyline Parkway, and Highland Street. Highland Street follows downhill to
West Duluth; Getchell Road follows the opposite direction to
Hermantown; and scenic Skyline Parkway continues its journey through the city of
Duluth.
Keene Creek flows through at the eastern edge of the neighborhood.
