About this map

Argyle and Koeltztown anchor this rural landscape along the border of Osage Co Maries Co during the late 1980s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including the winding path of Loose Creek and Little Maries Creek, which eventually gives way to the Little Maries River. These watercourses carve through the townships of Jackson, Boone, Washington, and Johnson, illustrating the persistent agricultural and small-settlement patterns of central Missouri.

Evidence of local history is scattered throughout the hills, from the small Cem near Argyle to the remote location of Kennedy. The infrastructure of the era is represented by Wooden Pole Trans Lines cutting across the north, while the presence of named landmarks like Sugar Creek and Spring highlight the essential natural resources that supported these communities. This provisional survey captures the area just before the turn of the millennium, documenting the enduring rural character of the region.
