2021 Map of Dedeaux

About this map

The settlement of Dedeaux stands at the northern edge of this coastal Mississippi landscape, where the Wolf River and Sandy Creek drain through a network of creeks and bayous. The map captures the interface between established rural communities and the modern residential planning of Diamondhead in the south. Local history is anchored by the Fenton Sandhill Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, while the geography is defined by the winding course of Rotten Bayou and Bayou Lasalle. The presence of Addison-Henley Field and numerous family-named roads like Hubert Dedeaux Rd and Percy Ladner Rd reflects the deep-rooted land ownership patterns of the region. This 2021 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, including Interstate 10, has integrated with older settlements like De Lisle near the shores of De Lisle Bayou.
