About this map

The Marion County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of this region where the western edge of Marion meets the rural agricultural landscape of central Ohio. The transition from the dense street grids of the city to the expansive fields of Big Island and Green Camp illustrates the ongoing balance between urban growth and traditional farming. Numerous family and community burial sites, including Rayl Cem, Reidel Cem, and Sullivan Cem, are preserved across the quadrangle, serving as vital touchstones for genealogical research in the area.

Waterways like the Little Scioto River and Honey Cr carve through the land, influencing the placement of early settlements and the layout of the road network. Notable residential areas like Oak Knoll and Bellaire Gardens mark the mid-century expansion of the city's outskirts. Toward the southwestern corner, the Washout Swamp near the Union Co Marion Co line provides a distinct environmental contrast to the heavily surveyed townships of t5s r14e and t6s r15e.
