About this map

The southern outskirts of Osage City transition into the rolling prairie landscape of Osage County in this 2009 survey. The northern edge of the map features the Osage City Reservoir and the Osage City Dam, essential infrastructure for the nearby settlement. To the south, the massive expanse of the Melvern Reservoir dominates the terrain, with recreation-oriented roads like Lakeview Dr and Lake Rd 8 skirting its northern arms.

Historically significant landmarks for genealogists include South Cemetery near the city center and the more secluded Alpine Cemetery further south near the reservoir. The drainage patterns are defined by numerous named waterways, including Salt Creek, Turkey Creek, and Mule Creek, which carve through the grid of county roads. This map records the intersection of local municipal needs and large-scale water management projects in the early 21st century.
