About this map

The Osage River winds through this central Missouri landscape, carving a deep path between Bagnell and Osage Beach. This 2017 study illustrates the complex topography of the region, where numerous islands like Bell Island, Cotton Island, and Brockmans Island are found within the river's bends. The area is defined by a series of steep hollows, including Three Springs Hollow, Hudson Hollow, and Patterson Hollow, which create a rugged drainage system toward the river.

Settlement patterns follow the high ridges and river crossings, with several historic burial sites such as Sander Cem, Henderson Cem, and Fitzgerald Cem preserved throughout the countryside. In addition to the established lakeside communities of Lakeview and Lakeside, the map records local landmarks like Riley Bluff and Brockman Spring, providing a detailed record of the terrain as it appeared before further modern development.
