The village of Plain serves as the primary hub in this southwestern Sauk County landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by the winding course of Honey Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where narrow valleys and prominent rises dictate the road network, including the path of State Road 23 as it cuts through Sugar Grove Valley and passes by White Mound. To the northwest, the small settlement of Loreta sits near the headwaters of Little Bear Cr, marking a more secluded part of the county. The landscape is a mix of agricultural utility and recreation, evidenced by the proximity of the Plain Wastewater Treatment Facility to the Westbrook Hills Golf Course. Notable water features such as White Mound Lake and several reservoirs highlight the importance of water management and conservation in this part of Wisconsin.
