2020 Map of Garland

About this map

The Red River defines the landscape of this Arkansas-Texas borderlands region, winding in deep oxbows across the boundary between Miller and Lafayette Counties. The town of Garland occupies the northern reach of this survey, where a grid of streets including Front St and Wall St sits near the Red River Bridge. This alluvial plain is marked by the scars of previous river courses, now preserved as water bodies like the crescent-shaped Keller Lake and the long stretch of Moccasin Bayou. Local history and genealogy are anchored by small burial grounds such as Mays Cem and Wright Cem, which sit among a network of county roads and drainage features like the Field Bayou Ditch. The geography here reveals a long-standing relationship with the river's shifting path and the fertile lowlands it created.
