1954 Map of Biloxi

About this map

The coastal Mississippi landscape of the mid-1950s is defined by its complex waterways and growing military presence. Keesler Air Force Base occupies a significant footprint along the northern shore of the Biloxi peninsula, adjacent to the Veterans Administration Center. The city's core is centered around landmarks like Beauvoir and City Hall, while the southern edge follows the Mississippi Sound along Beach Blvd. In this era, the Louisville and Nashville railroad serves as a primary transit artery across the peninsula.
