About this map

The town of Centralia anchors the eastern edge of this Missouri landscape, which is defined by a dense network of small tributaries and private impoundments. Several small settlements and rural neighborhoods like Larrabee, Bush, and Little Dixie are dispersed across the plains, connected by a grid of school-named roads such as N Farwest School Rd and N Walverge School Rd.

Genealogists can find numerous burial sites, including the Far West Cemetery, Fountain Cemetery, and Union Cemetery. The hydrography of the region is notably marked by man-made water features, with Tri-City Lake and various dams like Fountain Lake Dam and Musgraves Lake Dam providing irrigation and recreation. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the concentrated urban street plan of Centralia to the open agricultural lands and wooded drainages of Silver Fork and Long Branch.
