2017 Map of Marion

About this map

Marion sits at the heart of this agricultural corridor in southern Idaho, where the high desert meets the rising slopes of the Sawtooth National Forest. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and irrigation routes, including the West Canal and several creeks such as Goose Creek and Big Cottonwood Creek. These water sources sustain the local ranching and farming operations, evidenced by labels like Garrard Ranch and the small settlement of Trout. To the southwest, the terrain transitions sharply from the level basin floor into the foothills, marked by features like Big Hollow and the notable high ground of The Knolls. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Marion Cem, situated just south of the main township area. The map illustrates a well-organized rural infrastructure, where named roads like Mountain Rd and College Ave provide access between the valley's isolated homesteads and the protected forest lands.
