2012 Map of Centreville

About this map

Centreville sits at the heart of this landscape, its street grid organized around thoroughfares like W Cherokee St and E Howard St. The surrounding countryside in Wilkinson and Amite counties is densely dotted with family and community burial grounds, including the Oaklawn Cem, Stafford Cem, and Winans Cem. These sites, along with small settlements like Whitaker and Gaulden, suggest a long-established pattern of rural landholding and genealogical history. The area is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Buffalo River flows to the northwest while the headwaters of Comite Cr and Little Comite Cr move south toward the state line. Numerous local roads, such as Old Highway 33 and Cane Creek Rd, provide access to these remote reaches where creek crossings and family-named landmarks like McGraw Cem and Petty Cem remain prominent features.
