2021 Map of Odessa South

About this map

The southern outskirts of Odessa and the transition into rural Lafayette County define this landscape. Residential patterns are dense in the north along W Orchard St and W McDowell Ave, while the land to the south opens into a complex of water and elevation. The Odessa Old Reservoir and the more modern residential enclave at Lake Lafayette illustrate the area's development around local water resources. Significant topographic markers such as Wagon Knob and the winding N Fork Blackwater River break the agricultural grid. Historical memory is preserved through the Odessa Cemetery and roads like Opera House Ln and Cox School Rd, which hint at the earlier social and educational infrastructure that supported this farming community. The southern portion of the sheet reveals a more dissected terrain where S Davis Cr and Honey Cr meet the northern edges of Johnson County.
