About this map

The Middle Br River winds through the village of Marion, anchoring a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and the glacial terrain of northern Osceola County. The village center is closely tied to the Mill Pond, with a network of residential streets like Lakeshore Dr and W Main St branching out into the surrounding township. This 2014 survey reveals a region rich in family and community history, evidenced by several rural burial grounds including Greenwood Cem, Cherry Valley Cem, and the Mid Branch Township Cem.

South of the village, the small settlement of Avondale sits near Whetstone Cr, while the land rises to the northwest at Pisgah Heights. The map clearly delineates the convergence of numerous watercourses, such as the W Br Middle Br River and Woolley Ditch, which dictate the drainage patterns across this section of the Michigan interior. The rigid road system, composed of numbered miles and avenues like 30th Ave, contrasts with the organic flow of the river system.
