1965 Map of Warsaw West

About this map

The Osage River and Pomme de Terre River define this Benton County landscape during a period of significant hydrological change. Revisions from the early 1980s illustrate the expansion of the Harry S Truman Reservoir, with blue hatching indicating areas planned for submergence. This transformation reshapes the environment around historic points like Wisdom Cem and Tackner. Despite the encroaching waters, the map preserves the location of rural infrastructure, including the Freedom Sch and Cedar Grove Ch. Local topographic landmarks such as Laird Bluff and Cobbs Bluff stand above the shifting shoreline, while small settlements like Pom-o-sa Heights and Valley View occupy the high ground between the river bends.
