1960 Map of Marseilles

About this map

Marseilles sits as a primary settlement within this 1960 survey, situated at the bend where Tymochtee Creek meets its smaller tributary, Little Tymochtee Creek. The landscape is defined by the agricultural divisions of the Congress Lands, marked by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural roadways like Robinson Road and Wolfe Road. The survey reveals the intersection of early pioneer history and mid-century rural life, preserved in the alignment of the Old Indian Treaty Bdy which cuts across the northern townships.
