2017 Map of Garland

About this map

The Red River carves a dramatic, winding path through this corner of Arkansas, defining the boundary between Miller and Lafayette counties. The settlement of Garland sits at a strategic bend in the river, where the Red River Bridge connects local travel routes like Front ST and Wall ST. The surrounding floodplain is characterized by numerous oxbow lakes and bayous, remnants of the river's shifting course over time, including Spirit Lake, Candler Lake, and Cypress City Lake. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Wright Cemetery and Mays Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the area's rural heritage. This map provides a clear record of the modern hydrological and transportation landscape, showing how water bodies like Keller Lake and Swan Lake continue to shape the geography of the alluvial plain.
