2013 Map of Garrison

About this map

Garrison anchors the southeastern corner of this agricultural survey in Benton County, Iowa. The town's grid is centered around E Main St and Pine St, just south of W Maple St. Beyond the town limits, the landscape is defined by the strict geometry of the township and range system, with a dense network of secondary roads such as 14th Ave and 54th St dividing the land into precise square-mile sections. This orderly human imprint is softened by the winding paths of several waterways, including Rock Creek in the northwest and Pratt Creek, which meanders through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. These creeks likely historically dictated the placement of homesteads and influenced the local drainage patterns across this part of the Cedar River watershed.
