1968 Map of Osage NE

About this map

The settlement of Delmar sits at the heart of this Ozark upland, where the headwaters of Osage Creek have carved a complex system of coves and hollows. During the late 1960s, the landscape was defined by its traditional rural structures, including the Shady Grove Ch and several small family burial grounds like Gibbs Cem and McMillian Cem. This survey illustrates a transitional period for the region, as traditional agriculture and mountain life met modern infrastructure, represented by the long Pipeline cutting through the center of the sheet and a series of Gas Wells established near Red Bank. The topography is particularly striking near the Winding Staircase Hol and the sheer face of Bee Bluff, while local landmarks like Indian Cave suggest the geologic character of this part of Carroll County.
