2024 Map of Glens

About this map

Jacinto and its historic surroundings near the Alcorn and Prentiss county line reveal a landscape deeply marked by early Mississippi settlement and religious life. This area is exceptionally dense with family graveyards and church-affiliated burial grounds, including the Boshers Graveyard, Stephens Family Cem, and the Sardis Primitive Baptist Church Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges like Bennett Ridge and Winbush Ridge, which directed early road development and farm placement. The convergence of Coke Creek and Clear Creek in the north near Glens provides a clear view of the water network that supported the rural economy of settlements like Indian Springs and Searcy Town. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists tracing ancestral families through sites like Choate's Acre Cem and Malone Cem.
