2012 Map of Marion

About this map

Marion's urban grid and expanding residential footprint are the focal point of this 2012 survey, showing a landscape defined by significant water resources and historical burial grounds. The city is flanked by substantial bodies of water including Crab Orchard Lake to the west and the Marion Reservoir further south, while smaller features like Saluki Lake and Teal Lake dot the surrounding terrain. This era of development is marked by a clear intersection of modern infrastructure and long-established community landmarks, notably the concentration of large cemeteries such as the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem, Maplewood Cem, and Rose Hill Cem on the northern edge of town. Beyond the main settlement, rural life persists in outlying areas like Hudgens and Neilson, where the land is drained by the S Fork Saline River and its various tributaries such as Limb Br and Little Saline Cr.
