About this map

Bay St. Louis and Waveland anchor this detailed coastal study, showing the dense grid of the Mississippi Gulf Coast as it appeared in 2020. The map captures the significant infrastructure connecting these communities to Pass Christian, most notably the Bay Saint Louis Bridge spanning Saint Louis Bay. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies key civic and spiritual landmarks, including the Hancock County Courthouse and several significant burial grounds such as Saint Mary Cem and the Brothers of Sacred Heart Cem.

North of the bay, the planned community of Diamondhead stands near the winding course of Bayou Bacon, while the eastern shore is defined by the wetlands and inlets around Mallini Point and the Wolf River delta. Further south, the map extends into the Mississippi Sound, marking maritime features like Square Handkerchief Shoal, illustrating the vital connection between the shoreline settlements and the adjacent coastal waters.
