The town of Fontana serves as the central hub of this eastern Kansas landscape, situated where the St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts through the countryside. The geography is dominated by the winding course of the Marais Des Cygnes River, which is flanked by an extensive Levee system and a notable Spoil Bank near Miami County State Park. These engineering features highlight the historical efforts to manage the river's floodwaters for the surrounding agricultural valley.
