About this map

The Harry S Truman Reservoir dominates this landscape in the Western Ozarks, where the Osage River's flooded valleys create a labyrinth of peninsulas and islands. Small settlements like Finey and Fox Run are situated among a series of dramatic river bends, including Udo Bend, McGuiness Bend, and Harris Bend. This 2011 survey captures the modern topography of a region defined by its water-access points and leisure sites like Ninnescah Park.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the specific placement of family-named landmarks and historic river crossings. Several small burial grounds, including Gilbert Cemetery, Tally Bend Cemetery, and Akens Cemetery, remain preserved on the higher ground above the waterline. The inclusion of Greys Mill Ford and Browns Ford points to older transportation routes that preceded the reservoir's creation, while White Sulphur Springs indicates the enduring significance of natural features in this part of Henry County.
