About this map

Osgood and the surrounding plains of Ness County are defined by a grid of rural routes like V Rd and W Rd, where the agricultural landscape meets the sharp relief of natural drainages. These breaks in the terrain, including Cedar Gorge and the winding Goat Canyon, provide a distinct contrast to the level fields that dominate the region.

For those tracing family history or local settlement patterns, the map identifies key burial grounds such as Cyrus Cemetery near the upper reaches of Page Creek, along with Vansburg Cemetery and Brownwell Cemetery to the southeast. The hydrology is centered on the branches of Big Rimber Creek and its tributaries, illustrating how water access and topography influenced the placement of these early community landmarks and the road network that connects them.
