2021 Map of Marcus

About this map

Marcus sits at the intersection of rural life and the prairie landscape in this Meade County region. The topography is defined by an intricate network of drainages including Spring Cr, Cherry Cr, and Red Owl Cr, which carve through the land to form local landmarks like Cowboy Draw and Murray Draw. This modern survey illustrates the persistent isolation and low-density settlement of the area, where human activity is largely organized around ranch roads such as Red Owl Rd and Old Marcus Rd. The presence of Ensor Lake near the primary settlement highlights a rare permanent water feature in a terrain otherwise dominated by seasonal creeks and dry draws. The map also documents the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for t9n r15e and t8n r15e, reflecting the enduring structure of western land divisions.
