2015 Map of Lehigh

About this map

The Cottonwood River and its southern branch, the S Cottonwood River, define the rural landscape of western Marion County. This agricultural region is punctuated by the settlements of Lehigh in the north and Goessel along the southern border. The terrain is deeply tied to the historical movement of cattle and commerce, evidenced by the path of the N Chisholm Trl and Chisholm Trail Rd cutting through the center of the township lines. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several community landmarks, including the Lehigh Mennonite Cem and the Alexanderwohl (Fried of) Cem. Smaller waterways like Stony Brook and Middle Emma Cr snake through the grid of section lines, which are formally designated by a system of rural routes such as Alamo Rd and Diamond Rd.
