The Casey Fork and Big Muddy River define the rural landscape of southern Illinois in this late-depression era study. Centered on the village of Ina, the region is characterized by a dense network of country schools and churches that speak to the established agricultural communities of Jefferson and Franklin Counties. Education was clearly a priority, as seen in the presence of both King College and Conner College near the town of Whittington.
