About this map

Centralia and its surrounding Marion County communities are defined by a complex network of water and transit infrastructure. This modern 2024 survey documents the expansive Centralia Reservoir and Lake Centralia, which dominate the central and eastern landscape, alongside the winding course of Crooked Creek and Raccoon Creek. The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of the BNSF Railway and CSX Transportation, connecting Sandoval and Odin in the north to the industrial and educational hubs like the Crisp Technology Center and Centralia Municipal Airport further south.

For family historians, the map is particularly rich in cemetery locations, preserving the sites of Deadmond, Ennis, Whitchurch, and Zion Hill, among others. These burial grounds, often situated on high ground like Fikes Hill or near quiet rural intersections, offer a precise record of the area's ancestral geography. From the residential streets of Junction City to the southern reaches of Hubbard Woods, the map illustrates a landscape where agricultural heritage meets contemporary municipal development.
