1961 Map of Centerburg

About this map

Centerburg serves as the central hub of this Knox County landscape, where the confluence of several townships including Hilliar and Milford creates a dense network of early rural infrastructure. This 1961 field check, updated with 1980s data, reveals a transition from traditional rail-dependent industry to modern utility corridors, evidenced by the presence of a substantial Pipeline and the Chapman Memorial Airport. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, detailing numerous family and community burial grounds such as Houck Cem, Eastview Cem, and Moreland Cem scattered across the township lines.
