Centralia City Lake is located within a small watershed basin in Nemaha County, Kansas that drains surface water from the surrounding agricultural landscape. Water leaving the lake’s outlet flows into unnamed tributary channels typical of small impoundments in northeast Kansas, which then join larger local streams. These local tributaries are part of the Missouri River watershed via the Big Nemaha River.
