About this map

Belmont serves as the primary hub in this corner of Tishomingo County, situated where the Tennessee Valley Divide separates the watershed. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bear Creek and its associated Bear Creek Floodway, which passes under the Belmont Bridge. Smaller settlements like Dennis and Neil are connected by the historic route of the Natchez Trace Parkway, which cuts diagonally across the northern terrain near Horseshoe Bend.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial sites, including the Belmont Cem, Hale Cem, and the remote Old Union Cem. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the town into the more irregular topography of the Freedom Hills and Chinquapin Ridge to the east. Notable water features like Bloody Springs and Blue Springs provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historical hydrology of the region near the Alabama state line.
