1957 Map of Dead Tiger Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Mississippi Test Facility (NASA) marks the southern edge of this Hancock County landscape, reflecting the space-age transformation of the Mississippi Gulf Coast in the mid-20th century. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Catahoula Creek and Dead Tiger Creek, which feed into expansive wetlands and named inlets like Sam Farve Bay and Josephs Bay. This environment dictated a sparse settlement pattern, where small rural hubs like Harmony Ch and Bienville Ch served the local community. Evidence of earlier rural life appears at the Flattop Sch (Abandoned), while the interior is punctuated by geographical features such as Adgreen Bay and Turtleskin Creek. The presence of a Flowing Well and several towers suggests a transition from traditional land use to a modern, technologically integrated infrastructure supporting the aerospace industry nearby.
