About this map

Marion expands eastward into a landscape defined by its cemetery groves and agricultural corridors in this 2010 survey. The eastern periphery of the city is anchored by institutional landmarks, including the campus of Ohio State University and the prominent Harding Memorial Park. Beyond the urban grid, the map reveals a dense network of burial grounds and family plots that dot the countryside, such as the Ziller Family Cemetery and Graham Cemetery, offering significant detail for genealogical research.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the winding path of the Olentangy River in the southeast and various tributaries like Qu Qua Creek and Riffle Creek. These waterways intersect a grid of rural roads and highways, including the modern path of US-23. Notable open spaces such as the Claridon Prairie and Marion Municipal Airport contrast with the developing residential and commercial edges of the city, illustrating the shift from open farmland to suburban settlement.
