2016 Map of Osgood

About this map

Osgood and Napoleon anchor this 2016 survey of northwestern Ripley County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Laughery Creek and its many tributaries. The area maintains a traditional Midwestern grid of county roads, such as W Co Rd 1100 N and W Fairground Ave, which navigate the elevation changes created by Hickory Lick Cr and Little Otter Cr. This modern map preserves the locations of several historic burial grounds, including Saint Maurice Cem and Boocher Cem, providing a precise spatial record for genealogical research. The boundary between Decatur Co and Ripley Co cuts across the northwest corner, marking a transition in the local jurisdiction. The terrain is notably dissected by watercourses like Jericho Cr and Plum Cr, which create complex contouring amidst the otherwise orderly agricultural sections.
