About this map

The West Fork Amite River and East Fork Amite River converge in this corner of Amite County, defining a landscape of complex drainage basins and small-scale family holdings. The abundance of family-named burial grounds, such as Agnippa Gayden Cem, Maxwell Hamilton Cem, and Davis Tucker Cem, suggests a deeply rooted community structure where ancestral land remains central to the local geography.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground between creek beds like Waggoner Creek and Felder Creek, with Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church serving as a significant social landmark. The road network, including Mary Wall Bridge Rd and Lower Centreville Rd, winds through the basin of Powell Creek and Mill Creek, reflecting a rural economy tied to the river's path. This survey provides a modern look at the traditional place names that have persisted in the Mississippi backcountry.
