About this map

Centreville serves as the focal point for this survey, straddling the border between Wilkinson Co and Amite Co in southwestern Mississippi. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Thompson Creek and Stafford Creek, which weave through a countryside marked by small-scale agriculture and family-owned lands. The distribution of small family burial grounds like Winans Cem and Norwood Cem alongside rural congregations such as Holly Grove Ch reflects a traditional settlement pattern that remained largely intact through the late 1980s.

Infrastructure in the town center is well-documented, featuring the Centreville Academy and the Finch Sch, while the outlying areas show transition into the timber and cattle lands typical of the region. To the south, the community of Whitaker sits near the winding course of the Little Comite Creek, illustrating the importance of these small waterways in defining the local topography and property boundaries in this part of the state.
