About this map

Centertown and its surrounding countryside are defined by a complex network of waterways that flow through this part of Tennessee. The Barren Fork and its major tributaries, including the North Prong Barren Fork and South Prong Barren Fork, dominate the landscape, carving through terrain marked by landmarks like Starkey Rock, Pine Bluff, and Smoot Bluff. This 2010 survey highlights a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the high concentration of small family and community burial grounds such as Old Fellowship Cemetery, Grange Hall Cemetery, and Rains Cemetery.

A notable historical insight is found in the northern corner of the map, where the Poor House Cemetery stands as a quiet reminder of early social services and the area's communal history. The infrastructure is primarily composed of local routes like Pigeon Hill Rd and Abe Curtis Rd, which connect scattered homesteads to the village centers. From the heights of Ivy Bluff to the lowlands along Mud Creek, the map provides a contemporary view of a region that has maintained its agricultural and family-centric character for generations.
