2017 Map of Kelly

About this map

Kelly Slough and a network of ephemeral waterways define this agricultural landscape northwest of Grand Forks. The terrain is characterized by the meandering paths of Salt Water Coulee, Fresh Water Coulee, and English Coulee, which cut through the flat Red River Valley floor. The settlement of Kelly sits in the northwest, while Powell is located further south along the section lines. The map reveals the expansion of local infrastructure, most notably the Grand Forks International Airport and the expansive Grand Forks Sewage Disposal Ponds to its north. The rural character is underscored by evocative local road names like Lonesome Dove Dr Ne and Whip-Poor-Will Ln Ne, which intersect the traditional grid of township roads and avenues that organize the region's farms.
