About this map

Big Blue River and the Black Vermillion River converge in this agricultural region of Marshall County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including Sunflower Rd, Tumbleweed Rd, and Zodiac Rd, reflecting the enduring township-and-range surveying system. Several family or community burial sites such as Antioch Cemetery, Saville Cemetery, and Edinborough Cemetery are scattered across the terrain, providing essential landmarks for genealogical research. One of the most distinctive features is the Indian Mound located near the southern boundary, suggesting long-term human presence along the river terraces. Transportation and utility are marked by the Linch Landing Strip and the aptly named RR Ln, while numerous waterways like Corndodger Creek and Perkins Creek drain the surrounding fields into the primary river basins.
