The Sunrise settlement serves as the focal point of this survey, positioned near the confluence where the Sunrise River meets the larger Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway. This portion of the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin is defined by the winding course of the Saint Croix River, a landscape shaped by glacial deposits and river valleys. The town of Sunrise itself is rooted in mid-19th-century pioneer history, as evidenced by the nearby Old Settlers Cem and Sunrise Cem. The rural road network, including names like Poor Farm Rd and Ferry Dr, points to the community's agricultural foundations and historical river crossings. In the southern reach, the N Br Sunrise River meanders through low-lying areas, while to the north, the Sunrise Ferry Hiking Trl follows the high ground overlooking the river corridor.
