The Kickapoo River meanders through this portion of the Driftless Area, anchoring several valley communities such as La Farge and Viola. The landscape is defined by its series of ridges and deep hollows, where local history is recorded in numerous rural burial grounds like Mount Zion Cem and Star Cem. The village of La Farge serves as a central hub, while smaller crossroads and hamlets like Tunnelville and Liberty trace the earlier settlement patterns of Vernon and Richland counties. Topographic landmarks such as Mt Nebo, Sheldon Mt, and the distinctive Fort Wales Rock overlook the winding river valley. To the west, the W Fork Kickapoo River cuts through Pleasant Ridge, while numerous tributary streams like Otter Cr and Elk Run have carved out the secondary valleys that supported the region's agricultural homesteads.
