2017 Map of Osceola

About this map

Osceola sits at the confluence of several major waterways, most notably where the Osage River and Sac River meet. This 2017 survey reflects a landscape shaped by the expansion of the Harry S Truman Reservoir, which has transformed the old river valleys into a complex system of inlets and islands. Prominent landmarks such as Rock of Ages Bluff and Walker Island rise above the water, while several named hollows like Reese Hollow and Walnut Hollow define the surrounding drainage patterns. For genealogists, the map identifies several burial sites including Osceola Cem, Pleasant Mound Cem, and the more remote Wisner Number 2 Cem. The local infrastructure is anchored by the Osceola Municipal Airport and a network of rural roads that navigate the rugged shoreline, providing access to the various branches and creeks like Weaubleau Creek and Gallinipper Cr that feed into the reservoir.
