The Tishomingo County Mississippi map places Iuka, the county seat, with Belmont, Tishomingo, and Golden in the south and Burnsville in the west. Pickwick Lake, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, and Woodall Mountain organize the water, hill, and state-border geography of Mississippi's northeastern corner.

The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 44.4 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 Tishomingo County Mississippi map
US 72 leads from Alcorn County through Burnsville and Iuka toward Alabama. MS 25 runs south from Iuka toward Tishomingo and Belmont, while MS 30 supplies the southwestern Prentiss County approach. Navigation channels, marina entrances, and park trails should be distinguished from the ordinary road network.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
Pickwick Lake and engineered waterway reaches account for substantial water area in the northeast. Narrow valleys and wooded Appalachian foothills spread west and south, and Woodall Mountain is Mississippi's highest point. Straight Tennessee and Alabama boundaries contrast strongly with the winding shoreline and drainage network.
The scale of Pickwick Lake and Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway can be misjudged beside 424.297 square miles of land and 20.222 square miles of mapped water. Use Iuka and Belmont as fixed points, then compare them with the boundary toward Alcorn. Together, Pickwick Lake and Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and the Alcorn side reveal more than the apparent size of any one symbol. Recreation, emergency, or private-road access near Belmont requires a current specialized map.
Settlement and Regional Context
Iuka concentrates courthouse, medical, and lake-access functions, while Belmont anchors a southern manufacturing and commercial community. Tishomingo State Park and the Natchez Trace Parkway provide additional southern travel references. Tishomingo County lost an estimated 1.1 percent of its 2020 population by July 2025.
Practical Map Uses

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Woodall Mountain Mississippi's highest point?
Yes. Its elevation is modest compared with mountain states, but it is Mississippi's official high point and a useful landmark southwest of Iuka.
How can Pickwick Lake clarify the part of Tishomingo County facing Alcorn?
Looking only at Iuka would reduce the map to town labels, whereas Pickwick Lake explains the landscape transition toward Alcorn.
