2012 Map of Marion

About this map

The W Fork Vermillion River snakes through the heart of Turner County, providing the primary topographical relief to an otherwise orderly landscape of section-line roads. This survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries that dot the landscape surrounding the settlement of Marion. From Saint Marys Cem on the northern edge to Greenwood Cem in the south, these sites offer valuable touchstones for genealogical research. The street grid of the town itself is well-defined, with thoroughfares like S Broadway Ave and Florida Ave establishing the residential and commercial core. Rural transit is facilitated by an extensive network of numbered roads, including 274th St and 444th Ave, which connect isolated landmarks such as West Vermillion Cem and Tieszen Cem to the regional center.
