2020 Map of Center Point

About this map

Center Point sits at a crossroads in central Howard County, surrounded by a landscape defined by small watercourses and family cemeteries. The terrain transitions from the higher ground of Pea Ridge in the south to the more dissected drainage of the Muddy Fork and Blue Bayou. Local history is deeply etched into the geography through numerous burial grounds, including the Old Salem Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and Hester Cem, which often represent the early centers of community life in this rural Arkansas region. The road network reflects a history of industry and timber, evidenced by the Old Tram Rd and an extensive system of WEYCO forestry roads that crisscross the hills. In the northwest, the town of Dierks marks a significant local hub, while smaller named areas like Briar are found to the east, connected by routes such as Ebenezer Rd and Madison St.
