Saint Louis Bay serves as the central focal point of this coastal survey, dividing the waterfront communities of Bay St. Louis and Waveland to the west from Pass Christian and Henderson Point to the east. The landscape is defined by its intricate network of waterways, including the winding Wolf River and Bayou Portage, which flow into the sound. Within the town of Bay St. Louis, the Hancock County Courthouse stands near several established burial sites such as Cedar Rest Cem and Saint Mary Cem. To the south, the expansive waters of the Mississippi Sound reach toward the notable Square Handkerchief Shoal. The map captures a high level of residential development, showing a dense grid of streets and tracts that contrast with the marshy reaches of Grassy Point and the northern banks of DeLisle.
