1922 Map of Garrison

Rural education is remarkably well-documented here, with several family-named or local schools like Giffey School, Snow School, and Lacey School distributed across the sections to serve the homesteading population. The terrain is marked by numerous water features and drainage systems, including Simpson Lake, Snake Creek, and the curiously named Deadman Coulee. This survey captures the region's topography just before massive mid-century hydro-engineering projects fundamentally altered the course of the river and the surrounding lowlands.
