2017 Map of Rader

About this map

Rader and the small settlement of Pease sit at the center of this rural Ozark landscape, which is deeply carved by the Osage Fork Gasconade River and its various tributaries. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent hollows, including Phillips Hollow, Pender Hollow, and Rocky Hollow, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local development and road placement. Genealogists will find interest in the Weaver Cem and names like Chandler Hollow, reflecting the family histories of Laclede, Webster, and Wright counties. The area maintains a decidedly remote character, with transportation primarily limited to local routes such as State Hwy ZZ and Kilburn School Rd, following the natural contours of the river valleys and ridge lines.
