The Amite County Mississippi map covers a broad, lightly settled county along the Louisiana line. Liberty is the administrative anchor, while Centreville, Crosby, Gloster, and Gillsburg help users judge distance across a landscape divided by the East and West Forks of the Amite River.

The decennial count and the July 2025 estimate represent different reference dates. Land and water values come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 17.4 residents per square mile uses the 2020 population and land area; it does not imply an even distribution among towns, farms, forests, or floodplain.
Amite County Mississippi map: What It Shows
Liberty sits well inland from the state line, so it should be compared with border-side Centreville and the western labels of Gloster and Crosby. Gillsburg supplies an eastern counterpoint. US 98 serves the northern tier, whereas state routes form the practical links among the seat, forested areas, and Louisiana approaches.
County Layout and Location
More than 730 square miles of land are paired with a 2020 density of only 17.4 residents per square mile. Large gaps between labels are therefore meaningful rather than missing city data. Forked streams and forest land in the north add another layer to a county that cannot be understood as a simple grid.
Local Context: Amite Forks and Louisiana Line
The county takes its name from the Amite River, whose two forks are major geographic references. Timber and agriculture shaped the dispersed rural pattern, while the former Camp Van Dorn near Centreville adds a twentieth-century layer to the border region’s history.
Ways to Use This Map
- Explain the wide spacing of communities in a rural county
- Compare Liberty with Louisiana-border towns and approaches
- Relate the Amite River forks to forest and road geography
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Amite County places are closest to Louisiana?
Centreville lies near the southwestern state line, and Gillsburg helps identify the southeastern side. Liberty is farther inland and serves a different administrative role.
Why is Liberty alone insufficient for interpreting East near Franklin?
The Liberty label marks a human center, but East extends through a wider landscape whose relationship with Franklin cannot be inferred from town labels alone.
