Van Metre sits at a strategic crossing point in the early 1950s, where the Chicago and North Western railroad follows the valley of the Bad River. This location serves as a central transit hub for the surrounding ranching country, situated just north of the border between Stanley Co and Jones Co. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Bad River and its tributaries, including White Clay Creek and Dry Creek, which carve deep drainages through the prairie.
