About this map

The Harry S Truman Reservoir dominates this central Missouri landscape, where the confluence of the Grand River and Osage River has been transformed into a complex network of bays and peninsulas. The 1991 survey shows the sprawling reach of the water into local drainages like Hogles Creek and Wright Creek, significantly altering the topography of the Osage and Butler townships.

Upland areas preserved for recreation and conservation include the Valhalla State Wildlife Area and points of interest such as Buzzards Roost. Small rural settlements like Leesville and Finey remain on the higher ground above the inundation, while several family and community burial grounds, including Peaceful Home Cem, Gilbert Cem, and Harris Bend Cem, provide essential data points for genealogists tracing local families near the Ninnescah Park area.
