2011 Map of Bona

About this map

Stockton Lake dominates this portion of Dade County, its irregular shoreline reaching into the Missouri landscape to create prominent features like Perkins Bluff and Tunnel Bluff. The reservoir's influence is clear, having altered the drainage patterns of Mutton Creek and Maze Creek, while the Baird Lake Dam regulates the waters of Baird Lake to the north. Despite the expansion of the lake, the rural character of the area persists through small settlements such as Bona, Cane Hill, and Needmore. For those researching local families, the map is particularly detailed, locating several burial grounds including Asbell Cemetery, Fullington Cemetery, and Neil Cemetery. The intersection of nature and infrastructure is highlighted by Stockton State Park and the network of county roads that navigate the water-bound terrain.
