2021 Map of Glens

About this map

Jacinto, located at the southern edge of Alcorn County, serves as a significant historical anchor on this map, once the seat of Old Tishomingo County. The landscape is defined by its numerous family-named ridges and hollows, such as Bennett Ridge and White Oak Hollow, which separate the headwaters of the regional creek systems. A dense network of rural cemeteries and churches, including Boshers Graveyard and Antioch Primitive Baptist Church Cem, underscores the deep genealogical roots of the area. Transportation is marked by a transition from older settlement hubs like Searcy Town and Strickland to the rail corridor near Glens. The topography is intricate, with Hurricane Creek and Taylor Creek cutting through the center of the sheet, revealing the small-scale farming and timber-oriented settlement patterns common to this part of the Mississippi hills.
