About this map

Garland sits at the intersection of the Kansas-Missouri state line, marking a rural landscape where the plains of Bourbon and Crawford Counties meet the western edge of Missouri. The settlement of Arcadia anchors the southwestern portion of the sheet, while the smaller community of Oskaloosa lies just to the east. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial sites, including Heavisides Cem, McKill Chapel Cem, and Shiloh Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research.

Waterways like Dry Wood Creek and its various forks, such as W Fork Dry Wood Cr and McKill Cr, create a dendritic drainage pattern across the region. Distinctive topographic rises such as Martin Mound and Blue Mound interrupt the otherwise steady transition between the agricultural fields. The grid of section lines and county roads, including Fern Rd and Zebulon Rd, underscores the enduring structural influence of the Public Land Survey System on this borderland corridor.
