1950 Map of Glens

About this map

Jacinto stands as a focal point in this 1950 survey, located near the southern boundary of the quadrangle where Alcorn and Prentiss counties meet. The area is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, a topographic spine that separates the northern drainage of Coke Creek and Yellow Jacket Creek from the southern waters of Moores Creek and Reedy Branch. This divide influenced the placement of early infrastructure, including the Lee Highway which skirts the northern ridge lines near Glen.
