2020 Map of Gilby

About this map

Gilby serves as the primary settlement center in this section of the Red River Valley, situated at the junction of Co Rd 2 and 2nd St. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, which organizes the agricultural territory into townships like t153n r53w. This geometry is only interrupted by the meandering course of the Turtle River, which flows through the eastern and northern portions of the map. South of Gilby, the community of Honeyford sits near the intersection of 25th Ave NE. For those researching local family histories, the map identifies significant burial sites including Prairie Home Cem just south of Gilby and the Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem near Honeyford. The proximity of these cemeteries to the small population centers highlights the enduring rural community structure of Grand Forks County.
