2014 Map of Holmes

About this map

Holmes sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in the eastern Red River Valley, where the border of Grand Forks and Traill Counties bisects the grid of section roads. The map reveals a community anchored by its rural spiritual and genealogical landmarks, including Saint Jordahlen Cem to the north and Bethany Cem near the southern boundary. The drainage patterns of the prairie are visible through Cole Cr and the engineered Drain Number 28, which support the extensive farming operations of the region. Local transportation and utility are represented by the small Gensrich Airport and the methodical numbering of thoroughfares like Eagle Ave NE, illustrating the highly organized land management of modern North Dakota.
