2012 Map of Berwick

About this map

Beaver Cr and Centreville Cr wind through this part of the Mississippi countryside, where small rural hubs like Ariel and Berwick are centered around crossroads and family holdings. The landscape is defined by its numerous family and community burial grounds, illustrating a deep genealogical footprint across the Amite County terrain. The distribution of sites such as the Issac Jackson Cem, William Jackson Cem, and Dunn-Hefner Cem suggests a history of long-established family landownership. Further south, the map identifies small settlements like Olio and Capell, which sit near timbered creek bottoms including Mill Cr and Section Br. These waterways and the network of local routes like Berwick Cassels Rd provide a clear view of the area's twentieth-century rural development and its connection to the larger regional landscape.
