2016 Map of Garland

About this map

The town of Garland serves as the primary hub in this corner of North Carolina, where the local street grid—featuring N Ingold Ave, Odham Ave, and W Front St—meets the regional reach of Highway 701. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the South River, which forms a significant natural boundary and is crossed at key points like Melvin Bridge and Green Bridge. This area is notable for its numerous Carolina bays and wetlands, including Indian Camp Bay, Marry Branch Bay, and Beaver Dam Bay, which illustrate the unique geomorphology of the coastal plain. Historically influenced by local industry and water management, features like the Johnson Mill Race near Little Coharie Creek point to earlier agricultural and milling traditions. Further north, the settlement of Parkersburg sits along the road network near Twin Oak Airport, surrounded by smaller tributaries such as Horsepen Br and Lockamy Mill Br.
