About this map

The Little Osage River meanders across the northern reaches of this Bourbon County landscape, defining a rural terrain marked by small settlements and family burial grounds. Near the northern boundary, the community of Xenia sits at the intersection of Wood Rd and 80th St, while further south, the settlement of Berlin anchors the central-east region. This survey captures a moment of modern rural continuity where traditional land divisions and remote homesteads remain connected by a detailed grid of local routes like Soldier Rd and Range Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local resting places, including Northway Cemetery, Morris Cemetery, Turkey Creek Cemetery, and Walnut Hill Cemetery. The topography is punctuated by distinct landmarks such as Guthrie Mountain and various watercourses including Tippie Creek, Mill Creek, and the aptly named Opossum Hollow. The drainage patterns of Turkey Creek and Dyer Creek suggest a land deeply tied to its natural hydrology, even as established roads like Osage Rd provide modern passage.
