1978 Map of Holmes
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Eagle Creek and its tributary Little Eagle Creek wind through this Wright County landscape, defining the topography between the settlements of Holmes and Florence. This 1970s survey captures a transition in rural transit and utility, showing extensive pipelines and multiple drainage projects including Ditch No 36 and Ditch No 9, which converted the prairie into productive farmland. The rail infrastructure is prominent, with the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western railroads intersecting the territory.
