2018 Map of Osgood

About this map

Osgood and the surrounding plains of the Ness and Trego county line are captured here in a landscape defined by sharp drainage breaks and remote homestead connections. The settlement of Osgood sits as a central point of reference amidst a network of section-line roads, including 280 Ave and EE Rd. The terrain is carved by the winding paths of Page Cr and Big Rimber Cr, which create distinct topographic shifts in an otherwise level prairie. Of particular interest to family historians are the isolated burial sites, including the Cyrus Cem and Brownwell Cem, located far from modern urban centers. Prominent natural features like Cedar Gorge and Goat Canyon highlight the erosional patterns of the High Plains, where the Kansas earth drops away into steep-walled draws.
