2010 Map of Markle

About this map

Markle and the smaller settlement of Rockford sit at the heart of this Wells County landscape, where the Wabash River meanders through a network of agricultural drainage systems. The map illustrates a highly managed hydrological environment, defined by named watercourses like Griffin Ditch, Redding Ditch, and Lesh Ditch that support the surrounding farm tracts. Significant genealogical landmarks are preserved across the quadrangle, including the centrally located Sparks Cemetery near Rock Creek, and Horeb Cemetery to the east. The intersection of modern infrastructure and traditional land divisions is evident in the grid of local roads, such as W Oak Rd and N Marzane Rd, which connect these rural communities and historical burial grounds.
