About this map

Pilsen anchor this rural Marion County landscape, sitting amidst a network of section-line roads that define the region's agricultural character. This 2012 survey captures the area as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing the relationship between the small community and the expansive Marion Lake to the southwest. The terrain is drained by Mud Creek and Clear Cr, whose winding paths contrast with the rigid grid of roads like Old Mill Rd and Pawnee Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate significant landmarks such as the Pilsen Cem and Strassburg Cem, which serve as permanent records of the early families who settled this part of Kansas. The settlement of Eastshore highlights more modern residential development near the lake's edge, while the persistence of names like Old Mill suggests the historical industry and milling roots of the local economy along the creek beds.
