The Des Moines River winds through this agricultural portion of Cottonwood County, creating a serpentine corridor of riparian terrain that contrasts with the surrounding rectangular grid of farm roads. Near the center of this 2010 survey, Harder Lake sits amidst a landscape defined by sectional boundaries and long stretches of named thoroughfares like 450th Ave. The mapping of these minor waterways, including Arnolds Lake and the String Lakes to the south, documents the persistent glacial hydrology of the region even as human engineering has formalized the surface with an extensive network of county highways and township roads.
