1970 Map of Marion

About this map

Marion sits at the convergence of the Pigeon River and the Chicago and North Western rail line, serving as a focal point for this landscape of small dairy farms and river valleys. The 1970 topography reveals a region defined by its glacial hydrology, with numerous kettle lakes such as Kinney Lake, Long Lake, and Buck Lakes scattered across the township of Wyoming. To the north, the village of Caroline occupies a bend in the Middle Branch Embarrass River, while the smaller settlement of Hunting marks the Shawano and Waupaca County line.
