About this map

The Osage Fork Gasconade River winds through this rural landscape at the junction of Laclede, Webster, and Wright Counties. The small settlement of Rader sits at a crossroads near the center of the sheet, while Pease occupies the northeast corner and Susanna marks the southwest. The terrain is defined by a series of named drainages and depressions, including Phillips Hollow, Pender Hollow, and Buttrom Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected topography characteristic of this part of Missouri.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like the Weaver Cemetery and legacy infrastructure such as Kilburn School Rd. Water resources are prominent throughout, from the larger river to smaller creeks like Panther Cr and Cantrell Cr, alongside man-made impoundments like A J Shradder Lake and Lawson Lake. The road network, including Highway DD and numerous family-named routes, follows the ridgelines and valley floors, connecting these quiet Ozark communities.
