2021 Map of Belmont

About this map

Belmont and Tishomingo anchor the southern and northern reaches of this Mississippi landscape, which is marked by the winding corridor of the Natchez Trace Parkway. The terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where numerous branches and creeks like McDougal Br and Bear Creek carve through the countryside. This area is notably rich in genealogical sites, featuring over a dozen named cemeteries including Highland Cem and the Tishomingo County Rural Burial Ground. The map captures a complex system of water management and transport, with the Bear Creek Floodway and several local crossings such as Southward Bridge and Dennis Bridge. Settlements like Dennis and Freedom Hills are shown alongside distinctive landmarks like Horseshoe Bend and the Chinquapin Ridge, illustrating the rural character of the Mississippi-Alabama borderlands.
