About this map

The confluence of the Missouri River and the Osage River defines the landscape of this region on the border of Callaway and Osage Counties. Just north of the river, Tebbetts serves as a primary settlement, while the southern banks are home to the historic river town of Bonnots Mill and the landing at Cote Sans Dessein. The interior geography is characterized by deep creek valleys, most notably the namesake Loose Creek and its many tributaries like Maasen Cr and Krautman Cr.

Family and parish history is well-preserved through several rural cemeteries and religious sites, including the Immaculate Conception Cem. near the village of Loose Creek and Our Lady of Help Cem near Frankenstein. The map detail follows the winding paths of rural routes like State Hwy C and Co Rte 411, which connect these small agricultural communities across the dissected uplands of central Missouri.
