About this map

The Big Muddy River winds through this Jefferson County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its dispersed settlements and rural infrastructure. The communities of Ina, Bonnie, Nason, and Dareville are connected by a grid of county roads, showing the persistent residential patterns of Southern Illinois. This area is notably home to Rend Lake College, situated near the southern boundary, and the large Mine Number 21 Reservoir, which reflects the industrial history of the local coalfields.

Local genealogy is well-represented through several established burial grounds, including Abner Cem, Kirk Cem, Mason Cem, and the South Hickory Hill Cem. Waterways like Casey Fork and Atchison Creek drain the low-lying terrain, creating a complex network of wetlands and creek beds. The interface between these natural features and the human geography of roads like Co Hwy 13 and E Ina Rd illustrates the modern development of this historic farming and mining district.
