The Volga River winds through the heart of this Fayette County landscape, carving a valley that defines the settlement patterns around Wadena and Arlington. This area of northeast Iowa is marked by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Wadena Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and Taylorville Cem, providing a detailed record of the families who established these small communities. The topography transitions from the river bottomlands to higher elevations like Bear Hill, with numerous waterways such as Mink Cr, Plum Cr, and Brush Cr draining the agricultural upland.
