2011 Map of Osceola

About this map

Osceola serves as the focal point of this landscape, situated where the Osage River and Sac River meet amidst the sprawling waters of the Harry S Truman Reservoir. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern topography of St. Clair County, defined by the intricate shoreline of the reservoir which has submerged much of the low-lying river valley. Notable terrain features like Rock of Ages Bluff and Lilleys Island rise above the water, while the rural surrounding areas maintain a network of county roads connecting small settlements like Damascus. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial sites, including Osceola Cemetery, Pleasant Mound Cemetery, and Wisner Number 2 Cemetery. The transition from river-bottom lands to upland plateaus is marked by various creeks such as Gallinipper Creek and Monegaw Creek, while the Osceola Municipal Airport indicates the modern infrastructure serving this river-bend community.
