2013 Map of Marcus

About this map

Marcus serves as the central hub of this Cherokee County agricultural landscape, organized by a precise grid of rural routes such as 160th St and B Ave. The town's layout is defined by its relationship with the rail line, evidenced by Railroad St running parallel to the tracks through the heart of the community. Outside the residential blocks of N Linn St and S Beech St, the terrain is drained by a network of local waterways, including Whisky Cr to the north and Fiddle Cr to the south. The presence of Sand Field Airport north of town and Golf Course Rd to the south indicates the area's modern infrastructure and community development. To the east, the W Fork Little Sioux River meanders through the farmland, creating a distinct natural break in the otherwise systematic survey grid.
