2017 Map of Palmyra

About this map

Palmyra serves as the focal point of this Marion County landscape, showing its organized street grid and vital connections to the surrounding rural townships. The drainage patterns of the South Fabius River and the North River define the local topography, carving through the agricultural terrain where small settlements like Smileyville and Woodland are established. This 2017 survey details a landscape where traditional cemetery sites, including Greenwood Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem, sit alongside modern water management features such as Sears Community Lake and the Number 12 Reservoir. The map illustrates the persistent importance of regional infrastructure, from the South River Bridge to the network of county roads like Timber Ridge Rd, which link the various agricultural sections and smaller water bodies like Wiseman Recreation Lake that punctuate the plains.
