1982 Map of Big Point
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Escatawpa River defines the central spine of this landscape, meandering through a complex network of wetlands and bluffs along the Mississippi-Alabama border. The river's course is punctuated by distinctive riverine features such as Cowards Bluff, Sikes Bluff, and Fiddlers Sail, reflecting a period when water access remained central to local geography. To the west, the settlement of Big Point is anchored by the Big Point Cemetery and Temple Church, while the southern reaches near Cloverdale show a cluster of community landmarks including Grand Bay Church and Hamilton Cemetery. The map captures a transition between the dense wooded swamps like Black Creek Swamp and Reed Brake Swamp and emerging recreational developments, exemplified by the East Central County Golf Course near the northern boundary.
