2016 Map of Marion West

About this map

Marion anchors the eastern edge of this western Ohio landscape, where the urban grid meets the agricultural reaches of the Scioto river valley. This geography is defined by the confluence of the Scioto River and the Little Scioto River, a waterway network that historically shaped the settlement patterns of the region. The map reveals the layout of established neighborhoods like Oak Knoll and Bellaire Gardens, alongside smaller communities such as Green Camp and Big Island. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the township, including the centrally located Old Marion Cem and Saint Marys Cem, as well as rural family plots like Rayl Cem, Sullivan Cem, and Reidel Cem. The terrain is marked by distinct drainage features such as Rock Swale, Honey Cr, and Willow Swamp, illustrating the transition from developed city streets to the natural drainage systems of the Scioto basin.
