2020 Map of Osage

About this map

Osage Creek and its many tributaries, including Kenner Creek and Piney Cr, carve through this section of the Ozarks, defining the settlement patterns of Carroll Co. The small community of Osage sits at the convergence of several mountain roads near the Sisco Cem and Farcher Cem, illustrating the importance of water access in this elevated landscape. High points like Jim Fultz Mtn, Usrey Mtn, and Dewees Mtn overlook narrow valleys where family names are preserved through landmarks and resting places. Genealogists can trace local lineages at Mc Gehee Cem near Conner or York Cem further south. The map reveals a network of county roads connecting small outposts such as Rudd, Gobbler, and Dryfork, showing how the modern road system still follows the natural contours of the hills and hollows like Sally Hollow and Miller Hollow.
