The parts of Marshall County lying west of Big Blue River and south of Black Vermillion River have chiefly a rock-controlled type of topography similar to that of the Flint Hills region farther south. In parts more remote from major streams, the rock-controlled topography is mantled by glacial drift and loess. The major alluvial valleys are those of the Big Blue River, the Little Blue River, Black Vermillion River, and Vermillion Creek. Black Vermillion River is a large, westward-flowing tributary of Big Blue River and joins it about a mile north of the Pottawatomie County line. Vermillion Creek, a major southward-flowing tributary of Black Vermillion River, joins it near the City of Frankfort. A small area in the northeast corner of Marshall County is drained by Nemaha River, and another in the southeast corner by a tributary of Vermillion River.
