1969 Map of Marks
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Ancient earthworks such as Indian Mound and Posey Mound sit within the bends of the Coldwater River, signaling a long history of human habitation in this part of the Delta. The 1969 landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, where the river winds past Clear Lake and Bear Lake toward the settlement of Marks. The local economy and social structure are visible through the dense placement of rural churches and cemeteries, including Eagle Grove Ch and Gleason Grove Cem. The presence of the Indian Treaty Boundary cutting across the northern sections provides a significant historical anchor for property research. Transport and commerce are anchored by the Illinois Central railroad, which links the small communities of Darling, Essex, and Hinchcliff along the eastern corridor of Burrell Bayou.
