About this map

Centreville sits at the intersection of the Wilkinson and Amite county lines, serving as the primary hub for this rural Mississippi landscape. The town's grid is dense with local landmarks, including the Oaklawn and Centreville cemeteries, while the outlying areas are defined by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds such as Holly Grove, Mount Zion, and Winans. To the south, the settlement of Whitaker marks a distinct point of activity near the confluence of Little Comite Creek and the North Fork Little Comite Creek.

The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways, including the Buffalo River and Belmont Slough to the northwest, and Comite Creek to the southeast. These drainages create a complex system of ridges and valleys that historical roads like Old Highway 24 E and Lower Centreville Road must navigate. This density of named creeks and small family cemeteries like Redhead and Packnett reflects a long history of generational landholding in the Piney Woods region.
