1983 Map of Marathon
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
Marathon serves as the central hub for this High Plains landscape, situated along the Southern Pacific railroad line. The settlement features essential community markers including a Cem, a Water Tank, and a High Sch, reflecting its role as a regional anchor. Beyond the town, the terrain is defined by a series of drainage draws and the prominent peaks of the Wood Hollow Mountains, which dominate the southeastern quadrant. Water access in this arid environment is meticulously documented through a network of windmills named for local families and locations, such as Wagner Windmill, Pulliam Windmill, and Coon Windmill. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the presence of a Landing Strip and Post Road, while the transition from plains to mountainous terrain is carved by features like Horse Run and Big Wood Hollow.
