The Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway defines the western edge of this landscape, where the Saint Croix Wild and Scenic River forms a natural boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. This 2022 survey documents a largely rural area of Burnett County, characterized by a grid of agricultural land and scattered pockets of water such as Fish Lake and the County Trunk O'Flowage. Small, quiet settlements are distributed across the township lines, including Benson, Randall, and Rock Creek. Local history and family lineages are anchored at sites like Benson Cem and Pleasant Prairie Cem. The presence of numerous creeks, such as Cold Cr and Lagoo Cr, suggests a landscape historically defined by its drainage patterns and seasonal wetlands, while a network of rural roads like Co Rd O and Co Line Rd connects these isolated communities.
