2017 Map of Osage

About this map

Osage anchors the northeastern portion of this survey, a community deeply connected to the industrial infrastructure of Weston County. The town is marked by a network of local streets like Cedar St and Park Ave, and the presence of the Gerhart Cem provides a focal point for local genealogical research. To the east, the Black Hills Power and Light Reservoir indicates the importance of local utility management and water resources in this arid environment. The landscape is defined by extensive drainage systems including Benhart Draw and Luce Draw, which feed into larger watercourses such as Beaver Cr and the E Fork Beaver Cr. Much of the area falls within the protected borders of the Thunder Basin National Grassland, where the interplay between public lands and energy infrastructure is visible through names like Oil City Rd.
