Waumandee and Montana serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Buffalo County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of coulees and high ridges. The topography dictates a distinct settlement pattern, with homesteads and roads like Rotering Ridge Rd and Canada Ridge Rd following the narrow summits, while others are tucked into valleys such as Garden Valley and Irish Valley. Significant local landmarks include Saint Boniface Cem and Waumandee Cem, which offer genealogical value for those tracing the history of this dairy-farming region. The drainage system is anchored by Waumandee Creek and the Little Waumandee Creek, which carve deep paths through the Driftless Area terrain. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, where land use remains closely tied to the steep contours of Montana Ridge and Glencoe Ridge.
