2016 Map of Centerville

About this map

The community of Centerville serves as a central point in this rural landscape where Franklin, Warren, Nash, and Halifax counties meet. Defined by the winding course of Shocco Creek and the lowlands of White Oak Swamp, the area preserves a traditional North Carolina Piedmont character. The map illustrates a network of named river crossings that have historically connected these agricultural communities, including Shocco Bridge, Ransoms Bridge, and Bass Bridge over the local waterways. Beyond the primary settlement at Centerville, the village of Wood sits at a crossroads further east. Local history and genealogy are anchored by family-named thoroughfares such as Horace Perry Rd, J B Leonard Rd, and James Tharrington Way, while landmarks like Wood Church Rd and Red Bud Church Rd indicate the long-standing importance of community institutions in the region.
