About this map

Garrison serves as a focal point for this section of McLean County, situated just north of the waters of Garrison Bay. The township layout is clearly defined, with the Garrison Municipal Airport and residential streets like Railroad St and Trooper Ave illustrating the town's modern infrastructure. The surrounding landscape is characterized by the prairie pothole region's typical hydrology, featuring numerous small wetlands and the expansive McLean County Waterfowl Production Area to the northeast.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Saint Nicholas Cem, Garrison Cem, and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cemetery located further north. The drainage of Garrison Creek cuts through the terrain near the town center, leading down toward the larger bay. This map provides a contemporary record of the land use patterns and transportation network, from rural section roads like 15th St NW to the established grid of the city.
