The Montgomery County Mississippi map centers on Winona at the I-55 and US 82 junction, with Duck Hill to the north, Kilmichael to the east, and Sweatman in the southeast. It is a small county where a major crossroads meets wooded North Central Hills near the Delta's eastern transition.

The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 24.1 residents per square mile divides the 2020 population by 2025 land area and does not imply an even distribution among cities, farms, forest, or wetland.
Reading the Montgomery County Mississippi map
I-55 and US 51 lead north from Winona toward Duck Hill and Grenada County and south toward the Carroll and Attala county approaches. US 82 links Webster County on the east with Carroll County on the west. Kilmichael provides an eastern town reference and Sweatman a southeastern rural one; minor forest roads are omitted.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
Reservoir-sized open water is absent from Montgomery County’s visual hierarchy. Headwaters of the Big Black River and smaller creeks divide wooded ridges, with lower country toward Carroll and Grenada counties and continuing hills toward Webster and Choctaw counties. Less than one square mile of recorded water makes highways and ridgelines the stronger orientation features.
The figures for Big Black River headwaters and North Central Hills add scale to the visible pattern: 406.981 square miles are land and roughly 0.2 percent of the combined area is water. Read Winona against Duck Hill before looking toward Grenada; this separates the county’s interior arrangement from its regional edge. Minor lanes on the Grenada side are secondary to the broader regional relationship shown here.
Settlement and Regional Context
Winona concentrates county administration, retail, and travel services because two regional corridors meet there. Duck Hill and Kilmichael provide smaller northern and eastern town centers, while Sweatman represents the forested rural southeast. The 2025 estimate is about 4.8 percent below the 2020 census count.
Practical Map Uses
