About this map

The Osage River and Lake of the Ozarks dominate the northern terrain of this 1945 survey, where the river's winding course creates the dramatic horseshoe of Peal Bend. This rural landscape in Benton and Hickory Counties is defined by a dense network of upland ridges and creek hollows, including Gist Ridge and Tick Ridge, which dictated the placement of small agricultural settlements and timber tracts. The area is exceptionally well-documented for genealogists, featuring numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions like the Blackwell Cem, Wisdom Cem, and the Evening Shade Sch. Along the Little Niangua River and Pomme de Terre River, the map records several river crossings such as Phillips Ford and the Little Mill Creek Ford, alongside industrial sites like Gabriel Mills and the Sedgwick Mine.
