About this map

The Osage Fork Gasconade River winds through this section of Laclede County, defining the drainage patterns for numerous small communities and family landholdings. Small settlements such as Evergreen, Orla, and Russ serve as focal points in a landscape characterized by narrow hollows and winding creeks. The distribution of family-named burial sites, including Sharpe Cemetery, Holman Cemetery, and Whitson Cemetery, suggests a long history of generational settlement tied to the river valley and its tributaries.

Water sources like Steins Creek, Barn River, and North Cobb Creek feed into the main river channel, while prominent landmarks such as Sharpe Hollow and Henry Hollow reveal the dissected nature of the local terrain. The road network, featuring names like Skyline Dr and Cobblestone Rd, connects these rural homesteads and historic cemeteries, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of this Missouri Ozark region in the early 21st century.
