1950 Map of Glens

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Tenn Valley Divide carves through this corner of northeast Mississippi, separating the drainage of Coke Creek and Hurricane Creek amidst a landscape of sharp ridges and winding hollows. The post office at Glen serves as a local hub along the Southern railroad line, while the historical village of Jacinto sits further south near the border of Alcorn and Prentiss Counties. This 1950s-era geography reflects a deeply rooted rural society defined by small churches and family burial grounds such as Kemp Chapel Cem and Indian Springs Church. The rugged topography is punctuated by prominent landmarks like Gobblers Knob and Bloodsaw Hill, while education centers like Glendale Sch and Hickory Flat School reveal the mid-century distribution of communities across these wooded hills before modern consolidation changed the rural character.
