About this map

The Osage River corridor and the town of Warsaw anchor this survey, which documents a landscape on the verge of significant hydrological change. Purple revisions from the late 1970s identify areas slated for inundation by the Harry S Truman Reservoir, contrasting with the established reaches of the Lake of the Ozarks to the east. Rural life is well-represented through numerous family-named landmarks and community centers such as Whitakerville, Majorville, and Dell.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a high density of burial grounds, including Post Oak Cem, Smith Cem, and Vance Cem. The map also captures the path of Highway 65 as it moves south through Dell Junction, alongside vestiges of early local infrastructure like the Turkey Creek Chapel and the R 6 Sch. From the Pomme de Terre River in the south to the limestone quarries near Whitakerville, the sheet preserves the distinct topography of Benton County before the final reservoir expansion.
