Monument to Holcut
Monument to Holcut 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

This is the stone pyramid erected by USACE to commemorate the town of Holcut, Mississippi that was removed (acquired) by the USACE to build the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway project. The waterway provides a shortcut from the Ohio River to Mobile, Alabama through a series of locks, dams, and canals including this deep section through the hills of northeast Mississippi.
