1944 Map of Marcellus

Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Paw Paw River in the north to the recreational clusters around Gravel Lake and Bankson Lake. Small rural communities such as Volinia and Nicholsville serve as local anchors, while the presence of specialized landmarks like Porter Town Hall and the Harmony Chapel cemetery highlight the civic and spiritual centers of these farming townships. The map also records the varied drainage systems like Buckley Drain and Gates Drain, essential for managing the low-lying glacial terrain.
