2015 Map of Garland

About this map

Crown Hill Cem sits at the southern edge of this modern survey, marking a place of rest for the local community amidst an intensively managed agricultural landscape. The high, arid plateau of Polecat Bench dominates the northern terrain, yielding to the lower plains of Powell Flats. This geography is defined by its complex irrigation network, essential for high-plains farming. An intricate system of water management is visible through features like the Frannie Canal, Deaver Canal, and numerous laterals including Lateral D and Lateral W. These man-made waterways divert life to the fields surrounding the small settlement of Garland. Natural drainages such as Bitter Creek and Mantua Draw cut through the landscape, illustrating the contrast between the historic natural watershed and the structured agricultural grid established by later development.
