This river is sometimes known, due to its position, as the Border River; since ancient times it was the demarcation of provinces, separating the richer and more developed south from the more rural northern Feladmena Plain. As such, the saying "To cross a bridge of the Ismade" means to make a major change in one's life, analogous to leaving the cities and farming, or giving up one's land to come to the city for a job.
The position of the Ismade between two economically distinct areas has also made it a symbol of an old cultural and to some extent linguistic divide; while in modern days the economies have become much more similar, the dialectic differences still exist to some extent.
