2018 Map of Blue Rapids SE

About this map

The Big Blue River and Black Vermillion River converge in this pocket of the Kansas Flint Hills, where Marshall, Riley, and Pottawatomie counties meet. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, with systems like Shannon Creek and Fourmile Cr cutting through the upland prairies. Local history is anchored by markers such as Proctor Cem and prominent topographical landmarks including Indian Mound and the Twin Mounds in the northeast. This 2018 survey reveals a rural infrastructure of named roads such as Parallel Rd and Spring Creek Rd that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how modern transport maintains the grid of earlier settlement patterns.
