About this map

The Osage River joins the Missouri River in this central Missouri landscape, where the confluence marks the boundary between Callaway and Osage counties. The terrain is defined by the deep dissection of the river bluffs, particularly around the riverfront settlements of Bonnots Mill and Cote Sans Dessein. To the south, the namesake settlement of Loose Creek serves as a local hub near several religious and family landmarks, including the Immaculate Conception Cemetery.

Genealogists will find a high density of parish and family burial grounds scattered across the upland ridges, such as the Our Lady of Help Cemetery near Frankenstein and the Weislocher Cemetery further north. The map also traces the winding courses of Cedar Creek, Loose Creek, and Krautman Creek as they drain toward the Missouri, alongside modern rural developments like the Kuper-Scott Ranch Lake.
