About this map

The agricultural plains of Marion County are defined here by the headwaters of the Cottonwood River system, where the N Cottonwood River, W Cottonwood River, and S Cottonwood River converge. This survey shows the town of Lehigh at the southern edge, a community historically tied to the region’s Mennonite heritage, evidenced by the nearby Lehigh Mennonite Cem and a second Mennonite Cem further south.

A rigid grid of rural roads, including Bison Rd and Diamond Rd, segments the landscape, yet the path of the N Chisholm Trl provides a direct link to the historic cattle-driving routes that once moved through this territory. The small settlement of Waldeck sits centrally, surrounded by numerous small watercourses like French Cr and Silver Cr that drain the undulating prairie into the larger river basin.
