About this map

Westphalia and Rich Fountain anchor this section of Osage County, where the Maries River and its numerous tributaries have carved a landscape of high ridges and deep hollows. The settlement pattern follows these natural contours, with roads like Old Boone Trl and Spring Branch Ln winding through the terrain. Distinctive landmarks such as Anvil Rock Arch and Grapevine Hill rise above the valleys, while the Brush Creek Hollow provides a notable example of the area's drainage systems.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of the Van Buren Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery, the latter situated near the community of Rich Fountain. The map details a network of family-named lanes and county roads, such as Petzmeyer Ln and Luebbert Ln, which suggest long-standing agricultural roots. Water resources are prominent throughout, from the larger Indian Creek and Deer Creek to the man-made Luecke Lake and Lake Ditch.
