The Mississippi River forms the central character of this riverfront landscape, dividing the communities of Dallas City and Pontoosuc on the eastern bank from the lowland sloughs and islands to the west. The river’s shifting topography is evident in the numerous water bodies and backwaters such as Half Moon Lake, Lost Slough, and Patterson Lake. On the higher ground north of the Skunk River, a dense concentration of historical burial sites including Beebe Cemetery, Mohnike Cemetery, and South Walker Cemetery suggests deep roots for the families of the surrounding farmsteads.
