2020 Map of Marion

About this map

Marion and the northern outskirts of Oakley sit within a landscape defined by the transition from irrigated agricultural plains to the rising slopes of the Sawtooth National Forest. This modern survey illustrates the essential role of water management in the region, where the West Canal and ephemeral streams like Goose Cr and Big Cottonwood Cr support the gridded rural infrastructure. Genealogists can identify specific local sites including the Marion Cem and residential markers like Garrard Ranch and the small settlement of Trout. The terrain shifts dramatically in the southwest corner as the flat basin gives way to the drainage of Big Hollow, while the northeast is punctuated by the distinct elevations of The Knolls. The map provides a contemporary look at the road network, including the named thoroughfares of College Ave and Center St in the Oakley vicinity.
