About this map

Celina stands at the strategic confluence where the Obey River meets the Cumberland River, serving as the primary hub for this portion of Clay Co during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the significant presence of the Cordell Hull Reservoir, which transformed the river valley and influenced local infrastructure like the Gaging Sta and Sewage Disposal plant. Higher elevations and ridges above the valley floor are dotted with long-standing rural communities such as Moss, Richville, and Midway.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds across the terrain, including Plumlee Cem, Mabry Cem, and Meadows Cem. Religious life is anchored by country churches like New Hope Ch and Beech Bethany Ch. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era through several scattered Oil Well sites and a Quarry near Proctor Creek, illustrating a landscape shaped by both water management and resource extraction.
