2012 Map of Peoria

About this map

The E Fork Amite River winds through the rural landscape of Amite County, anchoring a region defined by small crossroad settlements and family burial grounds. At East Fork, the river valley converges with several local routes, while the community of Hebron sits to the north, near the confluence of Gordon Cr and Horse Cr. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous small cemeteries that reflect early family settlement patterns. Notable sites include Mount Sinai Cem, Bates-Felder Cem, and Gardner-McKnight Cem, which are scattered among the timbered tracts and agricultural fields. To the south, the settlement of Peoria and the Glading area are linked by a network of rural roads such as Peoria Rd and Lower Glading Rd, showing the continued importance of these small hubs in the 21st century.
