About this map

Ina and Bonnie anchor this late-1990s landscape, which is defined by the expansive waters of Rend Lake and its surrounding wildlife management areas. The map illustrates a region balanced between rural settlement and large-scale conservation, featuring the Rend Lake State Wildlife Refuge and the Rend Lake State Waterfowl Management Area along the Casey Fork. The presence of Rend Lake College south of town and the sprawling Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park highlights the area's role as a regional educational and recreational hub.

Local history is preserved through numerous family and pioneer landmarks, including the South Hickory Hill Cem, Kirk Cem, and Abner Cem. Small communities like Nason and Dareville remain visible alongside rural institutions such as Antioch Ch and Elk Prairie Ch. The geography reflects the significant hydrological changes brought by the Casey Fork Subimpoundment Dam, which altered the drainage of Dodds Creek and the Big Muddy River to create the modern lake environment.
