About this map

Big Blue River and the Black Vermillion River converge in the southern reaches of this Marshall County landscape, defining the hydrology of the eastern Kansas plains. The terrain is characterized by a high density of creek systems including Corndodger Cr, Dog Walk Cr, and Johnson Fork, which carve through the sectional grid of the Public Land Survey System. A notable landmark, the Indian Mound, sits near Game Fork in the southwestern corner, suggesting a long history of human presence in the river valley.
