2013 Map of Osage

About this map

The Cedar River winds through the southwestern corner of this Mitchell County landscape, a key geographic feature that likely influenced the early development of Osage and the smaller settlement of Mitchell to the northwest. This modern survey illustrates the established grid of the county seat, where the Mitchell County Fairgrounds and Osage Municipal Airport occupy the town’s eastern and northern fringes. The rural surroundings are defined by a network of agricultural roads and several watercourses, including Sugar Cr, Spring Cr, and Burr Oak Cr, which drain into the main river valley. Notable local landmarks such as Bennett Access and the Highway Number Nine Bridge highlight where transportation and recreation meet the river. The presence of Red Ball Rd and Lime Kiln Rd hints at the area’s historic transit routes and early industrial activities.
