2011 Map of Osage

About this map

Osage sits at the heart of this Carroll County landscape, where the meandering course of Osage Creek dictates the local geography and historical settlement patterns. The terrain is defined by several prominent peaks, including Black Mountain, Waldrop Mountain, and Usrey Mountain, interspersed with deep hollows such as Pine Hollow and Sally Hollow. For family historians, the area is rich with genealogical data points, featuring several namesake burial sites like McGehee Cemetery, Bobo Cemetery, and Sisco Cemetery. Small rural hubs such as Conner, Rudd, and Gobbler anchor the network of county roads. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the branching waters of Dry Fork and North-Fork Dry Fork, showcasing a classic Ozark drainage system before it reaches the Lake of No Return Dam.
