2010 Map of Centralia

About this map

The town of Centralia anchors this section of Nemaha County, defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and a network of wandering waterways. The Black Vermillion River cuts through the northern landscape, while several tributaries including French Creek, Mulberry Creek, and Coal Creek drain the surrounding prairie. This 2010 survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of the region, where family history is anchored at sites like Centralia Cemetery north of the town center and the more isolated Mulberry Cemetery further south. The map details the local infrastructure from the town’s residential streets like Oak St and 6th St to rural connectors such as Old Number Nine and Onaga Rd. A large unnamed reservoir south of Centralia, accessed via Lake Rd, represents a significant modification to the natural drainage of the Black Vermillion River watershed.
