2012 Map of Tremont

About this map

Tremont and the surrounding rural communities of Itawamba County appear here in a landscape defined by small settlements and family burial grounds. The settlement pattern is characterized by several historic focal points including Tilden, Cadamy, and New Salem. The terrain is drained by a dense network of waterways such as Lick Skillet Cr and Johns Cr, which wind through the eastern Mississippi hills. Genealogists will find a high density of rural cemeteries, such as Clover Ridge Cem, Old Mount Pisgah Cem, and Kennedy Cem, reflecting generations of local family residency. Landmarks like the Hopewell Lookout Tower stand as functional points in the landscape, while the infrastructure is a mix of state routes and named family roads like Wallace Russell Rd and Mattox Perkins Rd, tracing the movement between these upland farms and the central town of Tremont.
