2011 Map of Gentry

About this map

Decatur and Gentry serve as the primary hubs in this part of Benton County, connected by a network of rural roads and the legacy of the rail corridor along Railroad Ln. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several critical drainages, including Wolf Creek and Little Flint Creek, which carve through the plateau. Near the center of the map, Crystal Lake and its accompanying Crystal Lake Dam stand out alongside the Crystal Lake Airport, representing a concentrated area of mid-century infrastructure. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds such as Decatur Cemetery, Gentry Cemetery, and Springtown Cemetery. Further south, the small community of Springtown remains centered around its own Springtown Post Office near the banks of Flint Creek, while unique geological features like Corner Spring hint at the area's natural hydrology.
