2022 Map of Blue Rapids
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The Big Blue River and Little Blue River converge in this section of Marshall County, shaping the development of Blue Rapids and Waterville. These river valleys dictate the placement of local infrastructure, from the grid of Waterville along E Commercial St to the larger residential layout of Blue Rapids. Historic sites of local significance include Alcove Spring to the north and a series of rural burial grounds such as Prospect Hill Cem, Fairmont Cem, and Greenwood Cem. The landscape is a network of section-line roads like Sunflower Rd and Yonder Rd that connect the small settlements and peripheral sites like Bestwall. To the west, the reservoir of Idlewild Lake provides a distinct hydrological feature amidst the creek systems of Fawn Cr and Elm Cr.
