1959 Map of Center City

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Center City serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Mills County, where the historic Center City Cem and local school buildings once stood as community anchors. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of North Bennett Creek, Middle Bennett Creek, and South Bennett Creek, which converge to form a branching network of valleys. Natural passages through the higher terrain are visible at Barr Gap and Russell Gap, providing strategic transit points for local travel. A prominent modern addition to this rural setting is a large Pipeline that cuts across the northern section of the map, illustrating the post-war industrial expansion into the Texas interior. Smaller water features like Kemp Lake and various seasonal draws like Bee Creek and Buckhorn Br further detail the local topography and land use patterns of the late 1950s.
