The town of Colman stands as a central node in this portion of Moody County, situated atop the prominent Coteau des Prairies upland plateau. This 2021 survey reveals a landscape defined by its agricultural grid, where section lines are marked by roads like Co HWY 77 and Co HWY M. The area is notably dense with small, localized burial grounds that serve as vital records for genealogical research, including Colman Cem, Molskness Cem, and Saint Peter's Cem to the north. Further south, the West Baptist Memorial Cem and Hegre Cem near the banks of Poison Lake illustrate the historical distribution of early settler congregations. The terrain is relatively uniform across the plateau, punctuated only by occasional water bodies like Mud Lake and the subtle drainage patterns of the Coteau.
