2014 Map of Center West

About this map

Winnetoon and Bazile Mills anchor the southern portion of this Knox County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding course of Bazile Cr. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Spring Cr and several unnamed tributaries, creating a dissected topography that dictates the placement of rural roads like 875 Rd and 529 Ave. Near the village of Winnetoon, the Winnetoon Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogical research, while the Cedar Hill Cem sits further east near the creek. To the northeast, the small seat of Center is situated near the junction of Santee St and Bazile St. This 2014 survey illustrates the persistence of these small plains communities and their connection to the local watercourses and section-line road network.
