2012 Map of Garland

About this map

Garland and Oskaloosa anchor this rural landscape along the Kansas-Missouri border, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Dry Wood Cr. The map reveals a dense network of local history through its numerous burial sites, including McKill Chapel Cem, Heavisides Cem, and Shiloh Cem, which suggest long-established family ties to these prairie lands. Two prominent topographic landmarks, Martin Mound in the northeast and Blue Mound near the southern border, rise above the surrounding creek valleys. The water system is particularly complex here, with W Fork Dry Wood Cr and McKill Cr feeding into the main channel. At the southern edge, the Arcadia Wastewater Treatment Facility and the small settlement of Le Roy indicate the localized infrastructure serving the nearby population.
