About this map

Sam Farve Bay and the interconnected wetlands of the lower Pearl River basin define this coastal Mississippi landscape. The 2020 survey reveals a complex network of bayous and creeks, such as Bayou Bacon and Catahoula Creek, that drain into a series of shallow basins including Double Bay and Long Bay. Historically, this area was marked by the presence of the NASA Stennis Space Center's buffer zone, as evidenced by infrastructure like Shuttle Pkwy, Saturn Dr, and the Bombing Range Rd.

The presence of naming conventions like Dummy Line Rd and Mainline Rd hints at the region's historical timber industry and narrow-gauge rail history. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named water features like Everett Br and Josephs Bay, while the low-lying terrain is punctuated by small drainages like Turtleskin Cr and Wolf Br, illustrating the transition from upland pine forests to the coastal marsh.
