About this map

Marion expands eastward into a landscape defined by institutional development and numerous small family and parish burial grounds. The eastern fringe of the city is anchored by the Ohio State University-Marion Campus and Marion Technical Coll, while the Harding Memorial Park and the large Marion Cem stand as prominent landmarks. To the north, the Marion Municipal Airport and Innovation Dr suggest a modern industrial corridor transitioning into the rural township of Claridon.

The agricultural lands south of town are bisected by the Olentangy River and its tributaries, including Qu Qua Cr and Gravel Cr. For genealogists, this survey is particularly valuable for its density of small cemeteries, ranging from the Ziller Family Cem in the northeast to the Idleman Cem and Klingle Cem further south. These sites, along with churches like Saint Johns Reformed Cem, provide a precise map of the area's 19th and 20th-century settlement patterns.
