Effingham serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Atchison County, characterized by the undulating terrain of the Glacier Uplands. The town's grid is clearly defined, with Saint Anns Catholic Cem and the Effingham Cem located on its southern outskirts. The surrounding countryside is marked by a network of sectional roads and the drainage patterns of Little Grasshopper Cr and Brush Cr, which carve through the till plains. Local aviation history is represented by the Strafuss Airport to the southwest, while the presence of the Brush Creek Cem and Forest Grove Cem provides specific points of interest for those tracing family lineages in the rural townships. Figge Lake offers a rare larger body of water amidst the creek-fed valleys of Stranger Cr and its tributaries, illustrating the modern management of the local watershed.
