About this map

The Gasconade River winds through the eastern portion of this mid-century landscape, carving deep valleys and providing natural crossings like Daggetts Ford and Hoops Ford. This Osage County region is defined by a dense network of small rural schools such as Reichel Sch, Indian Creek Sch, and Potts Sch, serving the scattered settlements of Linn, Westphalia, and Rich Fountain.

The Rock Island railroad line (C R I and P) follows the river valley, connecting the town of Freeburg to the wider region. Family-named landmarks and cemeteries like the Van Buren Cem offer valuable points for genealogical research. The terrain is notably marked by Pilot Knob and Cave Bluff, reflecting the intricate topography of the Ozark borderlands before major modern development changed the character of these local communities.
