The town of Plato and the eastern edge of Glencoe anchor this landscape along the border of McLeod and Carver counties. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the Judicial Ditch Number Eight and County Ditch Number Twenty-nine, which manage the water levels of former wetlands like Brush Lakebed and Kennison Lakebed. These features, alongside Buffalo Creek and Silver Creek, illustrate the long-term conversion of Minnesota prairie into productive farmland.
