The Coteau des Prairies plateau forms the primary landscape of this section of the Glacial Lake Plains, where the terrain is marked by the eponymous Gertson Slough and the headwaters of Dolph Cr. Spanning the border of Hamlin and Kingsbury counties, the area is characterized by a sparse grid of section roads like 445th Ave and 196th St that navigate the varied wetland depressions. The settlement pattern is deeply tied to the region's ethnic heritage, evidenced by the location of the Saint Peter's German Lutheran Church Cem and the Scandinavian Cem. These sites, along with Garfield Cem, provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this quiet agricultural landscape during the early 21st century.
