2017 Map of Owensville West

About this map

Owensville serves as a primary hub of Gasconade County, showing a transition from the grid-aligned streetscape of town toward the winding hollows and ridges of the surrounding countryside. The landscape is marked by a deep genealogical footprint, featuring several family and community burial grounds such as Richardson Cem, Branson Cem, and the Old United Methodist Cem located near Douglas Hollow. The terrain is defined by its water systems, where Clear Fork and Sulphur Br feed into the northern drainage, while Peaceful Valley Lake provides a recreational center amidst the rural topography. Smaller clusters like Canaan and Cleavesville reflect the established settlement patterns of the Missouri interior, anchored by crossroads and historical cemetery sites such as the Howard Cem and Catholic Cem.
