2012 Map of Sorento South

About this map

Old Ripley and Sorento anchor this rural Bond County landscape, where a dense network of country roads connects scattered family-named settlements. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Shoal Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Dry Fork, Little Dry Fork, and Dorris Creek. This 2012 survey captures a distinct genealogical record through its numerous burial grounds, such as Sunny Side Cemetery in the north and the dual sites of Mount Nebo Old Cemetery and New Mount Nebo Cemetery further south.
