Osage sits at a transition between the wetlands and the rising elevation of the Smokey Hills, where the Straight River and Shell River navigate a complex network of glacial lakes. This 2022 survey details a landscape where water and timber define the geography, evidenced by the expansive Smokey Hills State Forest and named water bodies such as Mud Lake and Straight Lake. The settlement pattern is anchored by several distinct burial grounds, including Osage Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem, reflecting the area's established community roots. The transportation network is a mix of practical county roads and recreational paths, most notably the Forest Riders Trails Trl and the Smokey Hills Trl, which wind through the township boundaries of T140N R36W and T139N R37W.
