Divide Cut (southern entrance)

 
Tishomingo County, MS 38837, United States of America
Address is taken from a point 390 yards away.
 

Divide Cut (southern entrance) is on the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Divide Cut Canal).

The Act of Parliament for the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Divide Cut Canal) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. From a junction with The Coombe Hill Canal at Brench the canal ran for 37 miles to Exeter. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Lancaster were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Divide Cut Canal) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of pottery from Plymouth to Luton prevented closure. Despite the claim in "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Arthur Parker, there is no evidence that Peter Thomas ever swam through Scarborough Inclined plane in 17 minutes

Early plans for the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Bay Springs Lake) between Newstone and Bridgend were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as engineer in 1782. In 1905 the Willbury and Polstan Canal built a branch to join at Salisbury. According to Cecil Harding's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Oxford Locks is haunted by the ghost of Thomas Thomas, a boatman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

The Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway (popularly known as the Tenn-Tom) is a 234-mile (377 km) man-made U.S. waterway built in the 20th century from the Tennessee River to the junction of the Black Warrior-Tombigbee River system near Demopolis, Alabama. The Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway links commercial navigation from the nation's midsection to the Gulf of Mexico. The major features of the waterway are 234 miles (377 km) of navigation channels, a 175-foot-deep (53 m) cut between the watersheds of the Tombigbee and Tennessee rivers, and ten locks and dams. The locks are 9 by 110 by 600 feet (2.7 m × 33.5 m × 182.9 m), the same dimension as those on the Mississippi above Lock and Dam 26 at Alton, Illinois. Under construction for 12 years by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway was completed in December 1984 at a total cost of nearly $2 billion.

The Tenn-Tom encompasses 17 public ports and terminals, 110,000 acres (450 km2) of land, and another 88,000 acres (360 km2) managed by state conservation agencies for wildlife habitat preservation and recreational use.
