2011 Map of Marion

About this map

Marion and Churchill center this 2011 survey of Cassia County, Idaho, where a structured grid of rural roads meets the natural drainage of the Snake River Plain. The landscape is defined by the intersection of irrigation and natural watercourses, with the West Canal running south alongside the drainage of Goose Creek. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Marion Cemetery south of the primary settlement, while terrain features like The Knolls and Big Hollow provide topographic context for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. Smaller named localities such as Warr and Trout appear along the section lines, connected by a network of named routes including Mountain Rd and Warm Creek Rd. The map illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of this high desert region, where life follows the descent of Big Cottonwood Creek and its tributaries from the higher elevations into the valley.
