2017 Map of Turner

About this map

Mill Creek winds through the central valley of this Marion County landscape, connecting the town of Turner with the surrounding agricultural plains. The 2017 terrain is characterized by a high density of small family and fraternal burial grounds, such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Marion Friends Cem, which offer significant data points for genealogical research in the area. To the west, the Salem Hills rise above the drainage of Norton Creek and McKinney Creek, while the southeastern corner is marked by the distinct passage at Parrish Gap. The map also captures the local aviation history of the region through smaller landing strips like Ames Airport and the Flying E Airport, reflecting a rural infrastructure that balances traditional farming with modern utility. Water management is a visible priority, illustrated by the Perrin Lateral, the Main Canal, and the Franzen Reservoir situated near the heart of the community.
