East Chain and its namesake East Chain Lake anchor this agricultural landscape in southern Martin County, near the Iowa border. The terrain is defined by a complex network of glacial remnants and drainage improvements, including the distinctly named Burnt Out Lakebed and extensive water management systems such as County Ditch Number Sixtyfour and County Ditch Number Sixtynine. These ditches feed into local waterways like Little Badger Creek and Slough Creek, illustrating the long-standing efforts to reclaim and maintain productive prairie farmland.
