The Yellow Medicine River flows through the city.
Minnesota State Highway 23 serves as a main route in the community.
Two railroad lines intersect on the northwest side of town; the question of whether the state of Minnesota could order installation of an interchange track between the two independent railroads led to a 1900 U.S. Supreme Court decision which affirmed that the state could indeed order the establishment of the “Hanley Falls Wye” for the public convenience, despite the railroads’ opposition.
