About this map

The settlement of Gillsburg serves as the focal point for this rural southern Mississippi landscape, situated near the headwaters of the Tickfaw River and Cuba Creek. This 2015 survey reveals an area defined by family legacies, evidenced by the high density of private burial grounds scattered throughout the township. These include the Monroe-Brumfield Cemetery, McClendon Cemetery, and the Taylor Williams Cemetery, marking the historical footprints of generations of residents across Amite County.

Transitioning through the rolling hills between the East Fork Amite River and the West Branch Tickfaw River, the geography is interlaced with secondary routes like Bates School Road and Pilgrims Rest Road. The small community of Huron sits at a crossroads to the northeast, while landmarks such as Smith Ditch and the Benjamin Wall Cemetery suggest a long history of land management and domestic settlement within the T2N R5E and T1N R6E townships.
