The vast wetlands of the Horicon Marsh dominate this landscape, where intricate waterways like Plum Creek and the West Branch Rock River wind through a complex system of islands and man-made ditches. Small settlements such as Burnett and Kekoskee sit on the margins of this aquatic ecosystem, connected by the Wild Goose State Trl which follows a historic corridor through the marshes. Local heritage is preserved in sites like the Burnett Union Cem and Atwater Community Cem, while the northern edge transition into the residential and commercial streets of East Waupun. This area is defined by its extensive drainage infrastructure, including the Sommers Ditch and Clarks Ditch, which manage the flow between the Burnett Flowage and the surrounding farmland. Numerous named landforms like Goose Island and Strawberry Island rise above the marshy terrain, offering a look at the natural geography of Dodge County.
