About this map

Celina serves as the focal point of this survey, positioned where the New York Chicago and St Louis RR tracks meet the northwest corner of Grand Lake. The city layout shows significant development during the early 1960s, featuring institutional markers like the Celina High School, Hospital, and West School. Nearby, the Livingston PO and a designated Fairground underscore the town's role as a regional hub for commerce and community gatherings.

South along the lakefront, the settlement of Montezuma sits near Montezuma Bay, while the surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by family-named roads such as Myers Road and Kuhn Road. A network of drainage and water features, including Beaver Creek and Yankee Run, reveals the managed hydrology of the plains. For researchers, the distribution of rural landmarks like Fairview Church and the North Grove Cemetery provides specific points for tracing local family history and nineteenth-century land use patterns.
