About this map

Marion serves as the primary hub in this portion of Osceola County, situated at the junction of E Main St and S Mill St. The town is characterized by its proximity to the Middle Br River and the local Mill -Pond, reflecting the water-driven development common in this part of Michigan. The surrounding landscape is a network of section-line roads, including 20 Mile Rd and 30th Ave, connecting small rural settlements like Avondale and the elevations of Pisgah Heights.

Genealogists will find significant value in the concentration of local burial grounds and religious sites, such as Greenwood Cem and the Methodist Episcopal Church Cem. Smaller watercourses like Crocker Cr, Whetstone Cr, and Kinney Cr weave through the township, defining the drainage patterns and historical land divisions. This survey preserves the exact placement of local schools and churches during a period of modern rural stability.
