2017 Map of Holmes

About this map

The community of Holmes sits at the intersection of Co Rd 22 and 22nd St NE, serving as a central point in this agricultural landscape of the Red River Valley. The area is defined by its rectilinear section lines and sophisticated water management, most notably seen in the engineered path of Drain Number 28. This 2017 survey highlights several key sites for local genealogy, including the Stjordalen Cem and the Holmes Methodist Cem located just east of the main settlement. Further south, the map documents the Bethany Cem near Co Hwy 14 (151st Ave Ne). The presence of Gensrich Airport on 3rd Ave NE reflects the ongoing importance of private aviation in managing these large agricultural holdings across the Grand Forks and Traill county line.
