Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Marion County Iowa, Vol. 1: And Its People Marion County is located south and east of the geographical center of the state, in the third tier of counties from the southern boundary, the fifth tier from the eastern, the sixth from the western and the seventh from the northern. It is bounded on the north by the County of Jasper; on the east by Mahaska; on the south by Monroe and Lucas, and on the west by Warren and Polk, the latter county forming the boundary north of the Des Moines River - a distance of about one mile. The county is in an exact square, twenty-four miles on each side, with an area of 576 square miles, or 368,640 acres. Generally speaking, the surface is an undulating or rolling prairie. Along the larger streams are lines of bluffs or hills, between which are bottom lands of great fertility. Summit Township takes its name from the fact that the highest point of land in the county was formerly supposed to be near the Town of Otley, on the watershed between the Skunk and Des Moines rivers. Official surveys have shown this to be erroneous. The highest point in the county is near Pleasantville, where the altitude is 925 feet above sea level. Near the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad station in Knoxviile the altitude is 910 feet, while that of Otley is only 893. The City of Pella has an altitude of 878 feet and the lowest known point in the county is where the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad crosses Cedar Creek, north of Bussey, which is 673 feet above sea level.
