2015 Map of Dedeaux

About this map

Wolf River and its intricate drainage network, including Sandy Creek and Rotten Bayou, dominate the landscape of coastal Mississippi in this mid-2010s survey. The area transitions from the more densely developed planned community of Diamondhead in the southwest toward the rural settlements of Dedeaux and De Lisle. The terrain is characterized by numerous small waterways like Mill Cr and Coon Br that feed into the larger bayous and ultimately toward the Gulf of Mexico. Historical sites of interest for local researchers include Sand Hill Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the region's long-standing families. A dense grid of local roads, such as Kiln-Delisle Rd and Fenton Dedeaux Rd, provides access across the shifting boundaries of Hancock Co and Harrison County, illustrating the modern connectivity of these historic gulf coast townships.
