About this map

Owensville serves as the primary hub for this portion of Gasconade County, showing a transition from organized municipal streets to the winding creek beds and rolling divides of the Missouri Ozarks. Several smaller settlements like Bem and Tea anchor the rural landscape, which is heavily shaped by the drainage patterns of the Bourbeuse River and the Dry Fork. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites, including the Hinton Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and Burchard Cemetery, providing critical spatial context for local family histories.

Agricultural and recreational land use is evident through numerous reservoirs and named water bodies such as Tea Lake, Homer Hensley Lake, and Arno Kreter Lake. These water features, alongside tributary branches like Soap Cr and Red Oak Creek, dictate the path of local corridors such as the Bohemian Hwy and Krausetown Rd, which follow the natural contours of the township and range divisions in T41N and T42N.
