1968 Map of Blue Rapids

About this map

Tuttle Creek Reservoir dominates the central landscape of Marshall County, where the Big Blue River and Little Blue River converge. This 1960s survey documents the area shortly after the reservoir’s completion, showing the extensive Tuttle Creek Reservoir State Wildlife Management Area and the modified flow of the river system. The rail infrastructure of the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts across the terrain, serving the primary settlements of Blue Rapids and Waterville.
