About this map

Pomona Lake dominates this Osage County landscape, its irregular shoreline creating a complex geography of peninsulas and inlets. The settlement of Vassar serves as a primary focal point south of the water, where a grid of local roads like Vassar Dr and Kraft Dr meet the agricultural hinterland. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, identifying four distinct burial grounds including Valley Brook Cem, Mount Zion Cem, Pleasant Ridge Cem, and Vassar Cem.

A network of drainage systems feeds the lake, notably Valley Brook, Wolf Creek, and the curiously named Hundred and Ten Mile Cr. These waterways transition from narrow streams in the northern uplands to broad arms of the reservoir. The transition from established rural farmstead roads to lakeside developments like N Sail A Way Dr reflects the dual character of the region as both a farming community and a recreational destination in the mid-2010s.
