2010 Map of Marion

About this map

The Mississinewa River winds through the heart of Marion, Indiana, anchoring a landscape where historical burial grounds and industrial drainage patterns intersect. Significant for genealogists, the area includes the Marion National Cemetery and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery on the eastern edge of the city. The township grid is heavily modified by an extensive network of man-made waterways like Steelman Ditch, Lomax Ditch, and Hailies Prairie Ditch, reflecting the region's agricultural engineering. Residential developments such as Shady Hills and Westwood Square contrast with smaller, named localities like Michaelsville and Home Corner. To the south, the Glendale Lake Dam regulates Glendale Lake, while the Frances Slocum Trl traces the river's northern banks, preserving the memory of the area's early frontier history.
