1945 Map of Centralia

About this map

Centralia serves as the primary hub of this North Central Missouri landscape at the end of World War II, situated at the intersection of the Wabash RR and the Wabash Alton rail lines. The surrounding terrain is a dense network of rural school districts and small communities, including Hallsville and the settlement of Hatton. This mid-century survey illustrates a decentralized educational system before the widespread consolidation of the 1950s, naming dozens of local schoolhouses such as Dinwiddie Sch, Angell Sch, and High Hill Sch that anchored local farm life.
