2012 Map of Marblehead

About this map

Mississippi River bottomlands and the bluff-line settlements of Adams County define this 2012 landscape. The river's influence is evident in the complex network of side channels and wetlands, including Whitney Island, The Sny, and several ponds like Schaffer Pond and Circle Pond. Along the higher ground to the east, small communities and rural centers such as Marblehead, Bluff Hall, and Fall Creek are connected by a grid of county roads. The map captures a high concentration of genealogical sites, including Craigtown Cem, Thompson Cem, and the Newmaw Family Cem. Large-scale water management is visible through the Austin Creek Settling Basin and Fall Creek Settling Basin, which help manage the drainage from tributaries like Austin Cr as they descend toward the river plain. Further inland, the terrain is dotted with landmarks like Camp Sacajawea and the community of Seehorn near the southern edge.
