About this map

The Osage River winds through this Central Missouri landscape, shaped by the waters of the Lake of the Ozarks. This 2015 survey shows the developed corridors of Osage Beach and Lake Ozark, where major thoroughfares like Horseshoe Bend Pky and Bagnell Dam Blvd serve the heavy tourist and residential traffic typical of the late twentieth century. Despite this modern growth, the map preserves a clear record of the region’s older rural character through its numerous small family burial grounds, including the Fitzgerald Cemetery, Scott Cemetery, and Henderson Cemetery.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows such as Three Springs Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow, which drain toward the river and its islands like Bell Island and Cotton Island. The presence of landmarks like Wilcox Bend and Riley Bluff alongside the unincorporated community of Kaiser reflects a land where rugged topography has dictated development patterns for generations. Genealogists can trace family names across these hills via features like John Allen Hollow and the Colvin Cemetery.
