It lies 7.2 miles southwest of Lakeville, MN (from Lakeville, MN: bearing 215°T), and is situated 8.0 miles south-southeast of Credit River.

Residents often look toward the distant silhouette of Buck Hill, which rises against the sky eleven miles to the north, serving as a familiar marker in the flat expanse. During the long, clear evenings of midsummer, the light stretches across the fields, casting long shadows that emphasize the texture of the earth. For those seeking quiet reflection, the waters of Rice Lake provide a serene destination only three miles from the center of the area.
