2021 Map of Marblehead

About this map

The Mississippi River forms a dominant boundary along the western edge of this landscape, creating a complex network of islands and waterways such as Whitney Island, Schaffer Island, and the McDonald Chute. Inland, the terrain is defined by the drainage of Austin Cr and Fall Cr, which feed into specialized features like the Austin Creek Settling Basin and Fall Creek Settling Basin. These engineering elements illustrate the management of the floodplains near the settlements of Marblehead, Fall Creek, and Munger.
