2015 Map of Dederick

About this map

The unincorporated community of Dederick sits in the northeast corner of this Vernon County landscape, situated along the ridge lines where Robinson Br and W Fork Clear Cr originate. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads following the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, revealing a pattern of rural residency and agriculture. To the south, the settlement of Sandstone is anchored by the Sandstone Cemetery, one of several burial grounds that serve as vital touchstones for local genealogy, including Butler Cemetery, Stepp Cemetery, and Robinson Cemetery. Water resources are scattered throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the meandering Clear Creek and Wilson Br to named impoundments such as C H Jones Lake and Marvin Vickers Lake. Distinctive geographical markers like Oak Ridge and Rocky Hollow provide a sense of the local topography within the Osage Plains region.
