2024 Map of Deer Island

About this map

Deer Island stretches across the northern portion of this coastal sheet, shielding the mainland from the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. On the Mississippi mainland, the residential development of Gulf Park Estates is documented in detail, featuring a grid of named streets such as Mermaid Ave and Lake Mars Ave that extend toward the shore of Biloxi Bay. The map highlights the complex maritime boundary between Harrison and Jackson Counties, as it winds through the Mississippi Sound. Protected lands of the Gulf Islands National Seashore encompass both the northern and southern reaches of the quadrangle. This contemporary survey captures the intricate relationship between the growing suburban footprint at the edge of Biloxi and the managed wilderness of the barrier islands and the Intracoastal Waterway.
