Big Stone Lake dominates this borderland landscape, serving as the headwaters of the Minnesota River where it meets the Whetstone River. The town of Ortonville sits at this critical hydraulic junction, mirrored across the state line by Big Stone City. The area's development is closely tied to the water, seen in shoreline settlements like Lagoona Beach and prominent geographical features such as The Peninsula and Skeleton Island.
