The Mississippi River and its intricate backwaters, including Ziegler Slough and Corsepius Island, define the western edge of this Mercer County landscape. Moving inland, the Edwards River and the Mad River cut through the agricultural tablelands, connecting small rural hubs. The riverfront community of New Boston stands as a primary settlement, while the village of Joy anchors the eastern side of the survey. Between them lie smaller localities such as Mannon and Arpee, representing the dispersed nature of the regional farming economy in the early 21st century.
