A famous Ozark spring and an historic mill - The Reed Spring near Centerville, Mo., in Reynolds County, is not as well known as several others in the state but it flows a huge amount of water and turns the water wheel of an old mill which is said to be more than 100 years old. The mill was reconstructed a few years ago and instead of grinding meal it now operates an electric light and ice plant
Where the reed spring comes forth from the side of a hill - it forms a sort of pond in a basin on the side of a hill before it flows of through a trough to the old mill. Water cress grows along the edges of the pond which is stocked with fish.
