About this map

Marion and Gas City dominate the northeastern corner of this Grant County landscape, where the urban grid of Jonesboro transitions into a region defined by an extensive drainage network. The Strawtown Pike cuts a diagonal path across the territory, connecting smaller rural hubs like Radley and Weaver while paralleling the course of Deer Creek. This thoroughfare reflects the historic overland travel patterns of central Indiana, linking agricultural districts to the regional center at Marion.

Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a dense system of named waterways including Back Creek, Little Newby Ditch, and the Jones-Clark Ditch near the south boundary. Toward the southeast, Fairmount is clearly detailed, showing its proximity to Park Cem and Winslow Ditch. To the north, the Marion Municipal Airport and Glendale Lake mark the edges of the growing industrial and municipal footprint near the county's primary population centers.
