2014 Map of Osage

About this map

Osage and Conner anchor this portion of Carroll County, where the Ozark landscape is defined by the winding course of Osage Creek and its many tributaries like Piney Cr and Kenner Creek. The area is characterized by a high density of family cemeteries including Fancher Cem, York Cem, and McGehee Cem, suggesting a long-established rural population deeply rooted in the local valleys and ridges. Steep terrain features such as Black Mtn, Usrey Mtn, and Dewees Mtn divide the drainage basins, creating isolated pockets like Miller Hollow and Sally Hollow. Transportation follows these natural contours, with Ar 103 HWY S and Us-412 serving as the primary arteries connecting the small settlements of Gobbler, Rudd, and Dryfork. The map captures a portrait of a mountain community where agricultural land in the hollows meets the timbered slopes of the Arkansas highlands.
