About this map

Osage Creek carves a deep valley through this Carroll County landscape, serving as the central artery for the small settlements of Osage and Conner. The map reveals a post-war rural infrastructure defined by scattered family-named cemeteries and remote hollows, such as Saffer Hollow and Lady Hollow. These deep-cut drainages emphasize the topographic isolation of high points like Usrey Mountain and Black Mountain.

Tracing the smaller communities of Rudd and Gobbler shows the importance of local institutions, marked by the Gobbler Ch and several burial grounds like Chaney Cem and Snead Cem. A single Pipeline corridor cuts across the terrain north of the Assembly of God Ch, representing one of the few modern industrial imprints on an otherwise traditional agricultural and timber landscape of the Ozarks during the late 1960s.
