2017 Map of Centerton

About this map

Centerton and its surrounding communities in Benton County are defined by the convergence of traditional rural landscape and modern aviation infrastructure. The expansive footprint of the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport occupies the southern half of the quadrangle, bordering the older settlement at Highfill. This region, characterized by its numerous natural water sources, includes the namesake Healing Springs and Bluff Spring, along with the headwaters of Little Osage Creek and Spavinaw Creek. These watercourses historically supported small communities like Osage Mills and Vaughn. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several historic burial grounds, including the Armstrong Cemetery in Mason Valley and the Coffelt Cemetery, which provide geographical anchors for the families that settled this portion of the Ozark plateau.
