About this map

St Louis Bay dominates this coastal landscape, where the Jourdan River and Wolf River converge into the Mississippi Sound. The map documents the established waterfront communities of Bay St Louis, Waveland, and Pass Christian during the early 1990s. The concentration of religious and educational institutions is particularly notable, including the grounds of St Stanislaus College, St Augustine Seminary, and St Rose de Lima Sch.

Transport and recreation define the shoreline, from the Bay St Louis Bridge connecting the coastal towns to the Bay Waveland Yacht Club and Garfield Ladner Fishing Pier. Land usage varies from the densely patterned streets of the town centers to the open waters of the Square Handkerchief Shoal and the marshy expanses of Whitfield Bight and Grassy Point. Local history is preserved in the locations of the Garden Of Memory Cemetery and the Hancock Medical Center.
