About this map

The Osage River meanders across the border of Bates, St. Clair, and Vernon Counties, defining a landscape shaped by bottomlands and significant water bodies. In the town of Rockville, the street grid extends around Vernon Ave and Osage Ave, serving as a local hub near the Rockville Cem. Further south, Schell City sits near the edge of a vast wetland complex that includes Schell Lake, Atkinson Lake, and the curiously named Pecan Hollow.

Family history is preserved at rural burial sites like Meyer Cem and Spring Grove Cem, which anchor the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of creeks and sloughs, such as Panther Cr and Granddad Slough, which feed into the primary river system. This area is a patchwork of small ponds and named water features like Old Folks Pond and Shaw Pond, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Missouri prairie-wetland interface.
