2020 Map of Centerton

About this map

Centerton and the surrounding Benton County landscape are defined by a complex network of spring-fed waterways and established rural settlements. The headwaters of Spavinaw Creek and the winding course of Little Osage Creek drain this upland region, which has long transitioned from a strictly agricultural frontier to a modern transport hub centered on the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport. Local history is anchored by numerous burial grounds such as Gamble Cemetery and Armstrong Cemetery, which serve as physical markers of family lineages in communities like Vaughn and Mason Valley. The map reveals the area's geological character through features like Bluff Spring and Healing Springs, while the inclusion of Osage Mills points to an earlier era of water-powered industry that once shaped the local economy before the rapid expansion of nearby Bentonville.
