About this map

Tuttle Creek Reservoir dominates the southwestern landscape of Marshall County in the late 1960s, its shoreline cutting through the townships of Blue Rapids City and Bigelow. This area shows a transition from traditional agricultural patterns to managed conservation, evidenced by the Tuttle Creek State Wildlife Management Area bordering the water. The topographical detail reveals a complex network of drainage including Elm Creek and the meandering Black Vermillion River, which feeds into the reservoir system.
