The Mississippi River dominates this landscape, splitting into a complex network of chutes and sloughs that define a series of river islands. Extensive drainage projects are evident through a system of named channels like Frieden Ditch, Main Ditch North, and Hampton Ditch, which manage the low-lying terrain for agriculture. Smaller water bodies such as Beattys Pond and Otter Pond dot the areas between the river and the surrounding fields.
