Forest City and the small community of Bishop anchor this survey of rural Mason County, defined by a sophisticated system of agricultural drainage that transformed the prairie into productive farmland. The landscape is crisscrossed by essential water management features such as North Quiver Ditch, Central Ditch, and Hardin Ditch, which redirect water across the flat terrain.
