About this map

The confluence of the Missouri River and the Osage River dominates this mid-2010s landscape, illustrating the complex riverine geography that defines the eastern edge of Jefferson City. The map reveals a tapestry of small settlements and rural crossroads such as Osage City, Schubert, and Taos, which are connected by a network of county roads and historic corridors.

Genealogists can find numerous family-history landmarks, including Link Cemetery, Thorp Cemetery, and Saint Xaviers Cemetery. The conversion of old rail corridors into recreational space is evident along the Katy Trail, which skirts the northern bank of the Missouri near Wainwright. The terrain varies from the flat river bottoms near Cote Sans Dessein to the dissected uplands drained by Rivaux Creek and Rising Creek, showing how the hydrology of the river forks has shaped the modern residential and agricultural footprint of Cole and Callaway Counties.
