The Mississippi River forms the western boundary of this Crawford County landscape, where the rugged driftless terrain rises sharply into prominent landforms like Du Charme Ridge and Wall Ridge. In the village of Eastman, local heritage is anchored by Saint Wenceslaus Ch, its associated Saint Wenceslaus Cem, and a National Cem. To the north, the riverfront settlement of Lynxville sits at the base of the bluffs near Morgan Hollow. The map reveals a complex network of ridges and coulees, with agricultural life following the high ground along routes such as Benhardt Ridge Rd and Swatek Ridge Rd. The river corridor itself is a maze of backwaters and islands, including Harpers Slough, Saint Paul Slough, and the specifically designated Island Number One Hundred Fifty-nine.
