2022 Map of Centerville

About this map

Centerville and Selma anchor the landscape along the Anderson County and Linn County line, reflecting the organized sectional development of the Kansas prairie. The drainage system of Sugar Creek and its tributaries, including South Fork Sugar Creek and Saline Creek, dictates the undulating terrain. A dense network of township and range roads, such as Arthur Road and Cassida Road, connects the rural homesteads to the central community hubs. Near the southern edge of the survey, Selma sits near the headwaters of Little Gus Creek, while the presence of the Oakwood Cemetery to the east provides a tangible link to the area's early settlement history. The map also indicates the location of a Post Office in Centerville, a critical point of connectivity for this rural agricultural district.
