2011 Map of Holmes

About this map

The small community of Holmes sits at the center of this rural North Dakota landscape, defined by a grid of agricultural roads and the meandering path of Cole Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of area graveyards, including Saint Jordahlen Cemetery to the north, Holmes Methodist Cemetery to the east, and Bethany Cemetery near the southern boundary. These sites, often associated with early pioneer families and church congregations, remain vital touchstones of the region's heritage. The presence of the Gensrich Landing Strip west of the town center highlights the importance of private aviation in managing the expansive farmlands. This 2011 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of Grand Forks County, where named local roads like K Roeder Dr and Eagle Ave connect isolated farmsteads to the central settlement.
