2012 Map of Gravel Hill

About this map

Centerville and Gravel Hill sit within a landscape defined by winding rural routes and numerous family and community burial grounds in this part of Mississippi. The map reveals a high density of small cemeteries, including Centerville Cem, Smiths Chapel Cem, and Shiloh Cem, which point to the long-standing family lineages and local parishes that have shaped these crossroads for generations. In the northwest corner, the Greenwood-Leflore Airport provides a modern contrast to the surrounding creek bottoms and hills. Several significant watercourses, such as Pelucia Cr and Abotcaputa Cr, carve through the terrain, while landmarks like Steen Hill and Millers Hill provide topographical markers for those navigating the network of county roads. The settlement of Shady Grove and scattered sites like the Macrossley Cem illustrate the rural distribution typical of this region during the early 21st century.
