2010 Map of Osage

About this map

The settlement of Osage serves as the focal point for this Becker County landscape, where the Straight River and Shell River converge amidst a dense concentration of glacial lakes. The 2010 geography reveals a well-established network of local heritage sites, including several community burial grounds such as Osage Cemetery, Linnel Cemetery, and Saint Paul's Lutheran Cemetery. A notable navigational landmark, the Smoky Hills Lookout Tower, stands to the west, overlooking a terrain punctuated by water bodies with distinctive names like Bottomless Lake, Elbow Lake, and Mud Lake. The presence of the Straight Lake Dam and the Basswood Bay Resort Campground on the eastern side of the quadrangle suggests the area's dual role in water management and seasonal recreation, while the numerous county highways like County Hwy-47 connect these rural landmarks.
