2011 Map of Center

About this map

Center stands as the primary hub of this landscape, situated in the upper northern portion of the quadrangle. The town's grid is clearly defined by several named thoroughfares, including Main St, Market St, and Oliver Ave, reflecting the organized layout of the Oliver County seat. Water management is a central theme of the surrounding terrain, most notably marked by the Square Butte Number 4 Dam to the southeast of the settlement. The hydrology is dominated by the winding paths of Square Butte Creek, which flows through the townsite, and Hagel Creek further south. The map illustrates a vast network of section-line roads, such as 40th Ave SW and 27th St SW, which partition the prairie into the characteristic square-mile blocks of the Great Plains, indicating a land primarily dedicated to rural agriculture and ranching.
