2015 Map of Marshfield

About this map

Marshfield sits at the heart of this Webster County landscape, where the BNSF Railway cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. This survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Welch Cemetery, Thomas Cemetery, and Osborn Cemetery that dot the countryside. The geography is defined by the headwaters of the Pomme de Terre River and the northern reaches of the James River, which are traversed at historic crossings like Bumgarden Ford and Lindstrew Ford. The transition from the town center to the peripheral settlements of Northview and Crown illustrates the region's enduring rural character. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous family-named landmarks and the network of local roads including Big Timber Rd and Old Mill Rd that connect these historic sites.
