1954 Map of Centerville
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Lake Rathbun dominates the northern reaches of this borderland landscape, where the rolling plains of southern Iowa meet northern Missouri. The map illustrates a region defined by its dense network of waterways, including the winding Chariton River and the Des Moines River, which historically dictated the placement of early settlements and agricultural centers. Major rail lines like the Wabash Railroad and the Norfolk and Western cut across the terrain, linking industrial hubs like Ottumwa and Kirksville to the smaller trade towns of the interior.
