1954 Map of Biloxi

About this map

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is captured here during a period of significant mid-century expansion, centered on the urban core of Biloxi and the sprawling military presence at Keesler Air Force Base. The map documents the intricate coastline where the Back Bay of Biloxi meets the Mississippi Sound, with the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor serving as the primary land artery connecting established settlements like Ocean Springs and Edgewater Park.
