1967 Map of Centerville

Institutional and conservation land use is prominent, with the Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area occupying the northern section and the State Correction Center located near the western edge. Local history is preserved at the St Genevieve Cem and Twitchell Cem, while a Seaplane Base on Rice Lake indicates the area's recreational and navigational utility. The transition from rural to suburban is evident in the grid of local roads like Frenchman Road and Pine Street bordering the settlements of Columbus and Hugo.
