1999 Map of Centerville

About this map

Centerville sits at the confluence of several significant waterways within the Mark Twain National Forest, most notably the West Fork Black River and the Middle Fork Black River. The town serves as a central hub in a landscape defined by deep, naming-rich drainage patterns such as Stillwell Hollow, McLean Hollow, and Hunter Hollow. This 1999 revision, derived from imagery and 1966 topography, reveals a rural infrastructure focused on the river forks, featuring a Landing Strip and Water Tank near the town center. Local history is anchored by several family-named burial grounds, including the Rayfield Cem, Johnson Cem, and Howell Cem. The presence of the Ozark Trail and Scenic Drive suggests the area's transition into a recreational landscape by the late 20th century, even as traditional landmarks like Clarady Bluff and Reeds Spring remain prominent.
