2021 Map of Rosati

About this map

The settlement of Rosati and the eastern edge of St. James anchor this portion of the Ozark Highlands in the early 2020s. This agricultural and rolling woodland landscape is densely marked with family and community burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of Phelps County. Notable sites include the Saint Anthony Cem, Dawson Cem, and the Saint James Veterans Home Cem. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Bourbeuse River and a network of creeks including Clear Cr and Robinson Cr, which feed several small bodies of water like Cardetti Lake and Seliga Lake. A complex system of county roads and private drives, such as Skouby Rd and Dawson Cemetery Rd, provides access to these rural farmsteads and historic family plots, illustrating the enduring nature of the area's rural settlement patterns.
