The confluence of the Osage River and the Missouri River forms the geographical heart of this landscape, where the flat alluvial bottomlands meet the rising bluffs of Callaway and Cole Counties. In the mid-1960s, this river-driven economy was still clearly defined by the parallel routes of the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri Kansas Texas railroads, which serviced riverfront settlements like Osage City and Wainwright. The presence of several Quarries along the river bluffs indicates the region's reliance on geological resources.
