2013 Map of Lake Bonham

About this map

Ravenna and its grid of streets, from Sycamore to Pecan, sit on the western edge of a landscape defined by small rural hubs and an extensive network of creeks. This northern Fannin County region is characterized by small community clusters like Ivanhoe, Oakland, and White Shed, each connected by a dense web of farm-to-market and county roads. The southern portion of the area is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Bonham, where the Lake Bonham Recreation Area serves as a focal point for the surrounding geography. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Odd Fellows Cem and Upper Union Cem, are scattered throughout the countryside, documenting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the area. These features, alongside the Sandy Creek Ranch Airport and various drainage systems like Wolf Cr and Stillhouse Br, illustrate the mix of traditional agricultural land use and more modern recreational developments.
