2021 Map of Gloster

About this map

Gloster stands as the primary hub in this southwest Mississippi survey, situated along the county line where Wilkinson Co meets Amite Co. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Buffalo River and Little Buffalo River, which carve through the dense timberlands of the Homochitto National Forest. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history, evidenced by over a dozen documented burial sites including Roseland Cem, Gloster Woodlawn Cem, and Galilee Cem. Southeast of the main town, the settlement of Tatum sits near the headwaters of Tatum Cr, illustrating the typical rural development patterns of the region. The presence of numerous named local roads, such as Macedonia Rd and Bennie Cassells, provides specific navigational context for researchers tracing early 21st-century property boundaries and rural access routes within the forest and surrounding parishes.
