About this map

The Gillsburg community and the small settlement of Huron anchor this portion of Amite County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Tickfaw River and the East Fork Amite River. The area is remarkably dense with family burial grounds and small community cemeteries, reflecting a deeply rooted rural genealogy. Notable sites include the Monroe-Brumfield Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and George Roddy Lea Cem.

Drainage systems like the Smith Ditch and numerous creeks such as Hurricane Cr and Friday Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the Mississippi piney woods. A network of local routes, including Old Peoria Rd and Bates School Rd, connects these dispersed settlements and historical landmarks, providing a clear view of the 21st-century rural infrastructure before it undergoes further change.
