About this map

Centerville serves as the primary urban hub on this Iowa landscape, where the street grid transitions into the sprawling agricultural reaches of Appanoose County. The eastern outskirts of the city are defined by industrial corridors along Industrial Park Rd and the prominent Sixteenth Street Overpass. Moving south and east, the terrain becomes a network of creek drainages including Hickory Cr, Brush Cr, and Pigeon Cr, all flowing toward the meandering Chariton River.

Smaller rural clusters like Exline, Sedan, and the uniquely named Thirty provide clear markers for genealogists tracing family roots in the southern portion of the county. The map also documents hydrographic changes through labels like Old Channel, indicating the historical shifts of the riverbed. This survey offers a detailed perspective on the intersection of modern infrastructure and the natural riparian systems of southern Iowa in the early 21st century.
