Lake Iowa and the Iowa Lake Dam anchor the southern portion of this Iowa County landscape, surrounded by a network of drainage ways including Devils Run, Pig Creek, and Hog Run. This agrarian region, captured in the early 21st century, is defined by its rectilinear road grid where long stretches of A Diagonal cut across section lines. The settlement at Gonoa Bluff is a key landmark in the eastern section, situated near Old Mans Creek and the Genoa Bluffs Cemetery. Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites across the township, including Smith Cemetery, the Ladora Cemetery in the north, and the Zion Reformed Church Cemetery further south. Modern transportation is represented by the major east-west corridor passing between the Victor West Bound Rest Area and its eastbound counterpart, contrasting with the slower pace of the surrounding creeks and fields.
