The US Geological Survey defines it as a populated place with a feature ID of 1658249. The community is 640 feet above mean sea level. The area is inside Area code 530.

Centerville Power Plant is a small hydroelectric power plant in the community. When the plant is in operation, the volume of water in the creek goes up.

The facility was built about 1900 and generates electricity using water facilities that once supplied a hydraulic mine during California's Gold Rush.
