2010 Map of Center City

About this map

Center City serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, where the rural road network converges near the Center City Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system featuring Mustang Creek, North Bennett Creek, and South Bennett Creek, which feed into various man-made water bodies. Significant water management efforts are evident through the presence of the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, alongside Kemp Lake and the Shelton Lake Dam. These reservoirs and dams reflect the 20th-century focus on soil conservation and flood control in the region. The topography is further punctuated by natural passes such as Barr Gap and Russell Gap, providing passage through the rising elevations. This map documents a quiet agricultural region where cattle ranching and land management have shaped the local geography, connected by a web of routes like Ranch Rd 572 and FM Rd 250.
