About this map

The Osage River carves a deep path through Miller County, centering on the settlement of Tuscumbia. This landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with the river flanked by Cedar Bluffs and numerous tributaries like Gum Creek and Cattail Creek. To the south, the community of Ulman serves as a hub for a network of rural routes, including Dog Creek School Rd and Jackson Cemetery Rd, which point to the area's ancestral foundations.

Upland features such as Turn Back Ridge and Buck Knob overlook a terrain dotted with natural water sources like Bear Spring and Cave Spring. The presence of Lake Lottawatch and the winding course of Coon Creek further illustrate the intricate hydrology that has shaped local life. This survey provides a modern view of Miller County's transition from the river valley to the ridges, documenting the persistent rural character of these Missouri hills.
