Engineering efforts to control the local hydrology are evident in the Logan Creek Dredge, a straightened waterway that runs parallel to the original winding Old Channel. This alteration of the natural drainage, alongside the smaller Peterson Cr and Bell Creek, highlights the agricultural priority of reclaimed bottomlands. Scattered landmarks such as the Radio Tower and various rural cemeteries provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots in Bell Creek and Craig townships.
