From Liberty to the back roads
Liberty is the county seat, and Centreville, Crosby, and Gloster are among the other towns on the county map.

Roughly 730 square miles of land and about 12,442 residents (2023 estimate) make up Amite County. Beyond the town lots in Centreville, expect big rural parcels across the county. Amite County was organized in 1809, so deeds for older farms near Gloster can run back a long way.

Access first: confirm the Amite County parcel touches a public road, and read the deed for any access easement. Then check FEMA's Flood Map Service Center for any part of the tract close to Centreville that sits in a mapped flood zone.
