The drifting ridge-and-valley landscape of the Wisconsin and Illinois borderlands defines this area, where local economies have long been tied to the mineral-rich soils of the Driftless Area. Cuba City stands as a central hub at the intersection of Grant and Lafayette counties, while the historic mining and smelting centers of Hazel Green and Benton anchor the southern portion of the sheet. The drainage patterns of the Sinsinawa River and the Galena River carve through the terrain, illustrating the geographic factors that dictated early road placement and settlement growth.
