2012 Map of Blue Rapids NE

About this map

The Big Blue River and Black Vermillion River converge in this section of Marshall County, creating a riparian landscape defined by significant watercourse confluences. The terrain is marked by numerous named tributaries, including the curiously named Corndodger Cr, Dog Walk Cr, and Johnson Fork. For local historians and genealogists, the distribution of burial sites like Elm Creek Cem, Edinborough Cem, Saville Cem, and Antioch Cem suggests the historical locations of rural communities and family homesteads that once anchored these townships. Aviation and ancient history both leave their mark on the land, from the Linch Landing Strip near the riverbanks to the Indian Mound overlooking the Game Fork in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
