1956 Map of Bona

About this map

The Little Sac River winds through the rural landscape of Dade and Cedar Counties, defining the agricultural and social rhythm of the mid-century Ozark foothills. This 1956 field survey centers on the settlement of Bona, where local life clustered around institutions like the Community Hall and the Cane Hill school. The topography is marked by significant river features such as Perkins Bluff and Tunnel Bluff, which dictated the early road patterns and ferry points across the water.
