Marion serves as the focal point of this coastal plain landscape, where the traditional town grid meets a complex network of wetlands and bay formations. The surrounding terrain is defined by distinctive elliptical depressions such as Ellerbe Bay, Catfish Bay, and Gum Swamp Bay, which dictate the local drainage and road patterns. To the west and south, the landscape transitions into a mosaic of named islands and swamps, including Blackwell Island and Hickory Island positioned within the reaches of Johnson Swamp.
