About this map

The confluence of major waterways dominates this Kansas landscape where the Big Blue River meets the Black Vermillion River. This survey captures the complex drainage patterns of the region, featuring numerous tributaries such as Spring Creek, Bluff Cr, and Shannon Creek that carve through the local topography. Evidence of early settlement and rural life is centered around landmarks like Proctor Cem and the distinctive Twin Mounds elevation. The map illustrates a transitional zone where the boundaries of Marshall, Riley, and Pottawatomie counties converge. A network of rural routes, including Parallel Rd and Mount Vernon Rd, provides a clear view of the modern land divisions and access points to the river valleys that have historically shaped this part of the state.
