The Wilkinson County Mississippi map places Woodville, the county seat, with Centreville in the south, Fort Adams in the west, Crosby in the east, and Doloroso in the north. Terrain shifts dramatically from Mississippi River lowland to the deeply cut loess ravines of Clark Creek.

The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 12.7 residents per square mile divides the 2020 population by 2025 land area and does not imply an even distribution among cities, farms, forest, or wetland.
Reading the Wilkinson County Mississippi map
US 61 passes Woodville and connects Adams County to the north with Louisiana to the south. MS 24 leads east toward Centreville and Amite County, while MS 33 helps orient Fort Adams and western rural areas. Ravine trails and private forest tracks are distinct from ordinary roads.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
Loess bluffs and woods rise sharply above the western Mississippi River floodplain. The Homochitto River crosses the north, and Clark Creek Natural Area contains eroded ravines and waterfalls. Unlike a uniformly flat Delta county, slope and elevation change noticeably over short distances.
The figures for Mississippi River and Homochitto River add scale to the visible pattern: 678.012 square miles are land and roughly 1.4 percent of the combined area is water. Read Woodville against Centreville before looking toward Adams; this separates the county’s interior arrangement from its regional edge. When access toward Adams matters, current transportation sources provide the necessary precision.
Settlement and Regional Context
Woodville is the courthouse and historic center, while Centreville supplies southern services near Louisiana. Fort Adams connects river history with the county's physical landscape. Wilkinson County was estimated to have 11.7 percent fewer residents in July 2025 than in the 2020 census base.
Practical Map Uses
- Orient Woodville and Centreville along US 61
- Compare river lowland with loess uplands
- Distinguish Clark Creek from Fort Adams
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there real waterfalls at Clark Creek?
Yes. The natural area is known for steep ravines and multiple waterfalls. Visitors should check current trail and safety information.
How can Mississippi River clarify the part of Wilkinson County facing Adams?
Looking only at Woodville would reduce the map to town labels, whereas Mississippi River explains the landscape transition toward Adams.
