Benton and the surrounding Franklin County landscape are defined by the massive impoundment and infrastructure of the Big Muddy River. The southern reaches of the reservoir are anchored by the Rend Lake Dam, a significant engineering feature that transformed the local topography. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern layout of the region, where recreational areas like Benton Park and Lake Benton sit adjacent to industrial and transit hubs, including the Benton Municipal Airport.
