2018 Map of Dedeaux

About this map

The Hancock Co Harrison Co line divides this stretch of the Gulf Coast hinterland, where the Wolf River and Bayou Lasalle wind through a landscape defined by evolving residential developments. In the south, the master-planned character of Diamondhead is evident, featuring a network of curvilinear streets such as Hilo Way and Ala Moana St, contrasting with the more traditional rural settlement patterns to the north. Near the southern coast, De Lisle and its namesake De Lisle Bayou anchor the lower portion of the map, while the small community of Dedeaux sits at the northern edge. Local history is grounded in sites like Saint Joseph Cem and Sand Hill Cem, alongside aviation history at Addison-Henley Field. The transition from the dense, organized lanes of Diamondhead to the sprawling rural routes like Firetower Rd reveals the late-20th-century expansion of the Mississippi coast.
