2010 Map of Arland

About this map

Turtle Creek winds through a landscape of structured rural blocks and scattered homesteads, anchoring the agricultural character of this Barron County township. The township center at Arland and the nearby Twin Town serve as small nodes within a strictly gridded road network, where numbered avenues like 10th Ave and streets such as 5th ST define property boundaries. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed in its placement of local burial grounds, including Bethany Cemetery, Mount Hope Cemetery, and the Independent Cemetery. Water management is evident along the western edge at the Big Moon Lake 2WP1478 Dam, which regulates Big Moon Lake. These features, along with several smaller waterways like Silver Creek and Jones Creek, illustrate a community shaped by its reliance on the land and the drainage of the surrounding prairie and woodland.
