2011 Map of Garrison NE

About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie wetlands dot this McLean County landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid remains the defining human imprint. The terrain is structured by a precise network of roads such as 23rd St NW and 38th Ave NW, which follow the original Section Line boundaries of the Public Land Survey System. This agricultural layout reflects the early 21st-century rural character of the region, emphasizing the systematic division of North Dakota's central plains into square-mile sections. Small, unnamed water bodies are scattered throughout the quadrangle, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that intersect with the man-made grid of routes like 18th St NW and 31st Ave NW. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure between larger regional hubs, documenting the placement of every farmhouse access point and township road at this moment in time.
