1914 Map of Centralia
USGS Topo · Published 1914About this map
Centralia serves as a major rail hub in this early 20th-century landscape, where the Illinois Central RR, Southern RR, and Chicago and Burlington lines converge. The town's grid is meticulously detailed, extending northward through Central City to Junction City. This industrial density contrasts with the surrounding agricultural townships like Sandoval and Odin, where the land is dotted with a remarkably high concentration of rural schoolhouses. Distinctive names like Possomtrot School, Toad Island School, and Red Stripe School highlight the localized character of these early educational districts.
