2010 Map of Centralia

About this map

Centralia and the surrounding piney woods of East Texas are defined by a complex network of creeks and bayous that have shaped local settlement for generations. The landscape is characterized by its numerous small burial grounds and family-named landmarks, such as Enon Cemetery, Ivy Cemetery, and the Sugar Mounds terrain. Small rural communities like Nogalus, Hagerville, and Center Point serve as focal points in a territory heavily crisscrossed by Forest Service roads, reflecting the region's deep ties to timber and rural land management. The presence of Cochino Bayou and the North Fork Cedar Creek highlights the intricate drainage system of the Davy Crockett National Forest area, providing a clear view of the geographic isolation and community structure in this part of Trinity County during the early 21st century.
