Name

The village name means "line town" after the straight piece of road that runs through it. The village ends with corners in the road at each end.

Landscape

Although the road does not have corners, the road has an incline up to a hill. The hill is located near the 3rd West-most farm.

The farm land located west of the four farms and the road. They belong to each respective farm. This piece is mostly flat land with the exception of two consecutive hills located on the 3rd West-most town.

There are two other pieces of farm land. One is located east of the road and between the farms and the hamlet. It is flat, save for a small stream that runs through it.

The last piece of farmland lies east of the road opposite the first three of the West-most farms. It is distinctive for the tree islands of shrubbery, trees and wetland plants like bullrush. The land is mostly flat with the east most side both climbing and sinking to create a steep 40 degree slope. The outer edge is located to a steady stream at the foot of a sharp forested hill incline of some 40-50 degrees.

Structure

This is a very small village. It is composed of 4 major family run farms and a hamlet.
There are two bus stops in between the farms and the hamlet - one for each direction.
The village neighbours with the "Wędkowy" village approximately 0.5 km (0.310686368324903 mi) to the North-West and the Swarożyn town, some 4 km (2 mi) to the South-East.
