2019 Map of Marion

About this map

The Mississinewa River winds through the heart of Grant County, anchoring the urban development of Marion and its surrounding suburbs. This modern survey illustrates the dense residential and industrial grid of the city, transitioning into an intricate system of agricultural drainage ditches such as Steelman Ditch and Hailes Prairie Ditch in the outlying rural townships. The map documents several distinct neighborhood clusters and small settlements, including Michaelsville, Roseburg, and Home Corner, which reflect the historical expansion of the community beyond the central business district. For researchers and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for significant local landmarks like Grant Memorial Park and the Marion National Cem, alongside transportation corridors such as the Marion to Gas City rail line and the historic Frances Slocum Trl.
