About this map

Philadelphia serves as the primary settlement hub for this Marion County landscape, situated at the junction of several county roads including Co RD 167 and Co RD 140. The area is defined by a dense network of waterways, with the South Fabius River cutting through the northern sections and the North River winding through the south. This terrain has historically supported agricultural and rural residential life, evidenced by the distribution of family and community burial grounds such as Coleman Cem and Terrell Cem.

A significant cultural landmark, the Little Union Churchyard, stands along Highway 168, reflecting the area's established social foundations. The topography is marked by smaller tributaries like Pigeon Cr and Keller Br that feed into the larger river systems. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked cemeteries, including Philadelphia Cem and Crane Cem, which provide specific locations for tracing local family lineages across the townships of t59n r8w and t58n r7w.
