About this map

Pearlington and the surrounding marshlands of the Mississippi-Louisiana border are defined by an intricate network of waterways where the Pearl River meets the Gulf. This 2012 study captures the delta's complexity, showing the transition from the settlement at Pearlington down through a labyrinth of channels including Old Pearl River, Cowan Bayou, and the North Lake Pass. The landscape is a mosaic of named islands and points such as Browns Island, Hog Island, and Long Point, interspersed with industrial infrastructure like the Ansley Gas Field and the Rigolets Gas Field.

Navigation and coastal access are central to the area's layout, highlighted by the presence of the Pearl River Light and the historic English Lookout. The map provides detailed coastal geography, tracking the sinuous paths of The Rigolets and the Intracostal Waterway south of Little Lake. In the east, the community of Ansley sits near Magnolia Ridge, overlooking the tidal marshes of Kimmels Bayou and Campbell Island.
