2024 Map of Rend Lake Dam
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Benton and its western neighbor West City anchor the southern portion of this map, illustrating the modern expansion of these Franklin County communities near the Big Muddy River. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling impoundment of Rend Lake, with notable shore features like Bluebell Bluff and the low-lying wetlands around Gun Creek. This survey reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Winemiller Cem, Moser Cem, and Shiloh Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Illinois.
