2021 Map of Centerville

About this map

Centerville serves as the focal point of this survey, situated at the confluence where the West Fork Black River meets the Middle Fork Black River. As the seat of local government, the town is anchored by the Reynolds County Courthouse, while the nearby Ray Johnson Inc Airport provides a modern aerial connection to this pocket of the Ozarks. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage and ridge systems, including Low Gap Ridge and dozens of named hollows like McNab Hollow and Harrison Hollow that cut through the extensive Mark Twain National Forest. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Howell Cem, Johnson Cem, and Rayfield Cem, which are scattered among small settlements such as Harrison Valley. The network of backroads, including Old Hwy 21 and Karkagne Drive, traces the winding topography and natural water sources like Reeds Spring.
