1939 Map of Centerville

About this map

Centerville and Cincinnati anchor this 1930s landscape in southern Iowa, just north of the Iowa Missouri state line. The region is defined by a dense network of country schools and small family cemeteries that mark the rural character of Appanoose County before the consolidation of the mid-20th century. Notable institutions like the County Farm and the distinctively named Cornbread College Sch appear alongside established religious sites such as New Zion Ch and Antioch Ch.
