Benton and the surrounding Saline County countryside are defined by the convergence of the Alum Fork Saline River and South Fork Saline River, which dominate the central landscape. The 2017 survey reveals a region with a mix of established municipal growth in the east and smaller rural pockets like Kentucky and Haskell to the south. Numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, including James Cem, Hammonds Cem, and Moore Cem, are scattered throughout the township grids, offering valuable reference points for genealogical research. The waterway network is dense, featuring significant tributaries such as Trace Cr, Clift Cr, and Brushy Cr that drain into the larger river forks. Several reservoirs, notably Masoner Lake and Buffington Lake, suggest a landscape shaped by local water management and recreation within the diverse terrain of Stillhouse Hollow.
