About this map

Centertown serves as the focal point of this region where the Barren Fork and its numerous tributaries carve a complex drainage pattern through the central Tennessee landscape. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Bates Hill and Ivy Bluff, which overlook a network of rural communities including Trousdale, Pleasant View, and Oak Grove. Extensive wetlands like De Berry Swamp and several notable springs, including Gum Spring and Gregory Spring, underscore the area's rich water resources.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented across the quadrangle. From the Poor House Cem in the northeast to Old Fellowship Cem and Campbell Cem, these sites are often located near historical homesteads and early road networks like Nashville Hwy and Jacksboro Rd. This landscape reveals a long-standing agrarian structure, where landmarks like Starkey Rock and Crisp Spring have likely served as local points of reference for generations of residents.
