About this map

Centralia and its surrounding communities are detailed in this 2012 survey, showcasing the complex industrial and educational landscape of Marion County. The urban corridor extending through Central City, Junction City, and Wamac reflects the long-standing importance of this regional hub. A significant portion of the western landscape is dedicated to resource extraction, as evidenced by the Shattuc Oil Field, Centralia Oil Field, and Wamac West Oil Field, which underscore the region's energy-based economy.

Institutional and community landmarks are scattered across the terrain, notably Kaskaskia College and Mathis Airport. For family historians, numerous burial grounds are documented, including the Bethlehem Lutheran Cem near Ferrin and the Mount Evergreen Cem. The natural drainage of the area is defined by winding waterways such as Crooked Cr and Lost Cr, which intersect a grid of rural routes like Sandoval Rd and College Rd.
