2010 Map of Markesan

About this map

Markesan serves as the primary hub of this Green Lake County landscape, situated where the Grand River meanders through the central terrain. The area is defined by a series of prominent glacial water bodies, including Little Green Lake to the north and Lake Maria and Lake Emily along the southern border. Agricultural and industrial activity is evident through specialized infrastructure like the Del Monte Corporation Landing Strip and the Bosveld Brothers Landing Strip, alongside the established Utley Quarry near the settlement of Utley. Genealogists will find several local burial grounds documented across the townships, from the Memorial Cemetery within the city limits to the more rural Tichora Cemetery, Mackford Union Cemetery, and Kelley Cemetery. This topographic record illustrates a well-organized rural grid where drainage patterns of the South Branch Rock River and Drew Creek influence the local road network and land use during the early 21st century.
