Blufflands and Coulees setting.
Mound Prairie township has 36.3 square miles of land in Houston County. Its Census reference point is in Blufflands and Coulees, within Driftless Area.
Deeply cut valleys divide a bedrock plateau with windblown soil on many uplands. Glaciers had less influence here than in neighboring regions, leaving a distinctly hilly landscape.

Mound Prairie and Houston County
Mound Prairie is associated with Houston County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Mound Prairie by land and water
The Census records 0.49 square miles of water within Mound Prairie, or 1.3% of its total area. It is 1.6 percentage points lower than the 2.9% recorded for Houston County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
