About this map

Garland sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in eastern Nebraska, defined by a meticulously surveyed grid of township and range lines. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and man-made reservoirs, including Oak-Middle Reservoir 81-A and the extensive Branched Oak Lake. These water management features reflect the region's adaptation to the rolling prairie, where creeks like Middle Oak Cr and Coon Cr wind through the sections.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, particularly the numerous local burial grounds. The map identifies several sites such as Zion Lutheran Cem, Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Cem, and Germantown Cem, highlighting the area's early settlement clusters and religious heritage. The northeastern corner is notable for its recreational development, featuring specialized paths like the Area 9 Dog Trials Trl and Area 9 Prairie Trl near the lake shore.
