About this map

Belmont serves as the primary hub in this corner of Tishomingo County, anchored by a street grid featuring Main St, Washington St, and Yarber St. The landscape to the north is defined by the winding course of Bear Creek, which is spanned by several critical crossings including Southward Bridge, Dennis Bridge, and Belmont Bridge. This waterway creates distinctive geographical features like Horseshoe Bend and Ten Island, while the surrounding terrain rises into the Freedom Hills and Chinquapin Ridge.

Smaller settlements and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout the territory, from Bloody Springs and Neil to the community of Dennis, where the Dennis Lookout Tower stands as a prominent marker. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of local heritage, preserving the locations of numerous burial sites such as Old Union Cemetery, Hale Cemetery, and Russell Cemetery. The southwestern portion is notable for Blue Springs, a natural feature located near the convergence of several rural routes and the historic Natchez Trace Pkwy.
