The town of Centreville sits at the junction of Amite and Wilkinson counties, serving as a hub for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands of southwestern Mississippi. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous streams, including the Buffalo River, Comite Cr, and Thompson Cr, which carve through the terrain as they flow toward the southwest. This modern survey reflects a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the high density of family-named cemeteries and landmarks that populate the countryside. To the south, the settlement of Whitaker marks a secondary concentration of activity along the corridor of Old Hwy 24 E. The map reveals a intricate network of local roads such as Macedonia Rd and Dr Anderson Rd, connecting isolated farmsteads and historic congregational sites like Mount Olive Baptist Church Cem and Mount Zion CME Church Cem.
