2022 Map of Holmes

About this map

Agricultural patterns in Wright County are defined by an extensive network of water management, where Eagle Cr and Little Eagle Cr are supplemented by a complex grid of drainage infrastructure such as Ditch Number 192 and Ditch Number 36. The prairie landscape is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with gravel and paved roads following section lines to connect small rural centers. The settlement of Holmes serves as a local focal point near the Holmes Lutheran Cem, while the western edge of Clarion begins to appear in the northeast, marked by the Clarion Municipal Airport. Small hamlets like Florence sit at crossroads, illustrating the enduring township-and-range layout of the Iowa heartland. Genealogists can locate specific burial grounds including Saint Josephs Cem situated near the southern boundary along Co Rd C60.
