2019 Map of Centralia

About this map

Centralia sits along the southern edge of the Davy Crockett National Forest on this 2019 survey of the Trinity and Houston County border. This Piney Woods landscape is defined by the winding course of Cochino Bayou and a dense network of tributaries including Garrison Cr, Brushy Cr, and N Fork Cedar Cr. The area’s genealogical record is remarkably well-preserved through numerous small burial grounds such as Enon Cem, Rice Cem, and Ivie Baptist Church Cem. The terrain rises toward the Sugar Mounds north of the bayou, while a system of forest roads and county lanes like Co Line Rd and Paper Mill Rd weave through the timberlands, indicating the region's long-standing connection to the lumber industry and rural settlement patterns in East Texas.
