About this map

Marion County Park serves as a focal point for this landscape in the mid-1950s, centered around the significant waters of Marion County Lake. This agricultural region of Kansas is defined by the winding course of the Cottonwood River and its confluence with Doyle Creek, creating a network of waterways including Martin Creek and Catlin Creek. The small settlement of Oursler appears near the railroad grade, reflecting the rural infrastructure of the era.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Harter Cem and Grant Cem, providing critical landmarks for researchers tracing family roots in Center, Grant, and Fairplay townships. Modern infrastructure of the period is also represented, from the Marion Municipal Airport to the presence of a Pipeline and local Waterworks, illustrating the development of Marion County as it transitioned through the mid-20th century.
