About this map

The Osage Fork Gasconade River meanders across this rural Webster County landscape, serving as a primary geographic anchor for small communities like Johnston Ford and Bracken. In the early 21st century, this area remains characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Shields-Corinth Cemetery, Moore Cemetery, and the Robertson- Buck Cemetery. These sites, along with others such as Mount Sinai Cemetery, provide a significant record of local lineage in a region defined by its dispersed settlement pattern.

Water management and recreation are evident through features like Lake Osage, held by the Camp Arrowhead Dam. Further south, the map identifies specific industrial or agricultural developments including the Burk Bridge Company East Lake Dam. The road network, featuring names like Settlers Trail Rd and Old Seymour Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and small clusters of homes that comprise High Prairie.
