2011 Map of Center West

About this map

Center and Bazile Mills anchor this Knox County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding course of Bazile Creek. The map documents a rural Nebraska community defined by small settlements and established family farms, as seen at the Herberts Farm Airport. Civil infrastructure is concentrated along the section lines and within the small town plots, including the Winnetoon Post Office and the Center Post Office, which serve as vital local hubs. The drainage patterns of Spring Creek and its tributaries reveal the importance of water management in this prairie environment. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of Winnetoon Cemetery and Cedar Hill Cemetery provides clear geographic markers for ancestral sites, while the Bethesda Mini Camp suggests the area's role in regional community gatherings. The road network, including Winnetoon-Sherman Ave, reflects the organized settlement patterns of the Great Plains.
