1965 Map of Warsaw West

About this map

Warsaw sits at the confluence of the Osage River and the Lake of the Ozarks, a landscape on the brink of significant transformation. This mid-1960s survey documents the valley as it prepared for the creation of the Kaysinger Bluff Reservoir, with blue hatching clearly indicating the extensive areas destined for submergence. The map serves as a vital record of the existing human geography before the rising waters altered the terrain, showing established rural communities like Fairfield and Tackner alongside numerous family cemeteries such as Akens Cem and Wisdom Cem.
