MONONA GUESTHOUSE is located in the heart of northeast Iowa's DRIFTLESS AREA. Karst topography is found throughout the Driftless Area, characterized by: caves & cave systems, disappearing streams,
blind valleys, underground streams, sinkholes, springs & cold streams. 
In the Driftless Area, disappearing streams occur where surface water sinks down into the earth through fractured bedrock or a sinkhole, either joining an aquifer, or becoming an underground stream. Blind valleys are formed by disappearing streams and lack an outlet to any other stream. Sinkholes result from the collapse of a cave's roof, and surface water can flow directly into them. Disappearing streams can re-emerge as large cold springs, and cold springs as their sources are noted as superb trout habitat.
