Course

The Little Osage rises in Kansas in southeastern Anderson and northeastern Allen counties as three short streams, the North, Middle and South Forks. The forks converge in northwestern Bourbon County, and the river flows generally eastward past Fulton into Vernon County, Missouri, where it passes Stotesbury and collects the Marmaton River. On the boundary of Vernon and Bates counties, the Little Osage joins the Marais des Cygnes River to form the Osage River, 6 miles (10 km) west of Schell City.
