2015 Map of Westphalia West

About this map

The Osage River and Maries River converge in this central Missouri landscape, defining the topography and transport patterns of Cole and Osage Counties. The village of Westphalia anchors the eastern edge of the sheet, while Taos and Folk mark the residential and agricultural centers to the west. The influence of the river system is evident in the naming of local landmarks such as Bloody Island and the presence of specialized infrastructure like Lock and Dam Spur. Local family names and agricultural legacies are preserved in the road network, which includes Bode Ferry Rd and Toebber Ln. Moving away from the larger river valleys, the terrain is dotted with small private water bodies like Baumhoer Lake and Pinnell Lake, illustrating how the land has been managed for local use and irrigation in this rural corridor near the state capital region.
