About this map

Marseilles sits at the intersection of Wyandot, Hardin, and Marion counties, serving as a central hub in a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and branching waterways. The village is anchored by Tymochtee Creek, which winds southward toward the Killdeer Upground Reservoir. This area is particularly notable for its dense concentration of small burial grounds, such as Salem Cem, Bradley Cem, and York Street Cem, which trace the early settlement patterns of the surrounding townships.

The terrain is dissected by numerous runs and creeks, including Pawpaw Run and Little Tymochtee Cr, creating a complex drainage network across the flat plains. Away from the village center, the landscape is punctuated by aviation history at Heilman Airport and scattered family landmarks like Goodhope Cem and Shanks Cem. The convergence of county lines near Marseilles highlights the geographic importance of this junction for local history researchers tracing family roots across the tri-county border.
