About this map

The Mississippi River dominates the eastern boundary of this Marion County riverfront, defining a landscape of active levees and shifting waterways. Near the river, intricate water features such as Bay De Charles, Heather Bay, and Ward Island Chute indicate the complex hydrology of the floodplains. To the west, the land rises into more stable terrain where agriculture and community life were centered during the early 1970s. This upland area is dotted with family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Pennewell Cem, Gottman Cem, and Thrasher Chapel. Significant archaeological markers like the Indian Mound near South River and several Indian Mounds further south provide a look at the deep history of this river valley. The corridor of the Burlington Northern railroad runs parallel to the river, linking small points like Huiskamp and Helton to the broader regional economy.
