2020 Map of Holmes

About this map

Holmes serves as the quiet center of this agricultural landscape in eastern North Dakota, situated just north of the Grand Forks and Traill County line. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by several scattered burial grounds including Stjordalen Cemetery and Holmes Methodist Cemetery. These small markers represent the legacy of early settlers in the Red River Valley region. Drainage and irrigation are central to the terrain here, defined by engineered waterways like Drain Number 28 and the natural path of Cole Creek. Further west, the Gensrich Airport provides a modern point of interest amidst a grid of section roads like County Road 22 and County Highway 14, which facilitate the movement of grain and equipment across the vast prairie farmlands.
