Des Moines River meanders through the southern half of this landscape, carving deep valleys that contrast with the organized grid of upland farms in Van Buren County. The town of Mount Zion sits at a critical junction near the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line, which follows the river's northern bank before cutting across the interior. Evidence of early settlement and community life is scattered throughout the township, from the County Home and Mt Zion Ch to small rural burials like Miller Cem and Leech Cem.
