2020 Map of English Lookout

About this map

Pearlington anchors the upper reach of this coastal delta where the Pearl River branches into a complex network of bayous and passes on its way to Lake Borgne. The landscape is a labyrinth of low-lying islands and waterways, including Browns Island, Hog Island, and the marshy expanse of Pearl River Island. Industrial development is concentrated near Jackson Landing and along S Port Bienville Rd, contrasting with the more rural settlement at Ansley to the east. The transition from freshwater river systems to the tidal influence of the Intracoastal Waterway is marked by features like English Lookout and Polecat Bend. This map captures the intricate coastal geography along the Louisiana and Mississippi state line, revealing how the local economy follows the natural paths of Mulatto Bayou and Grand Plains Bayou toward the Gulf.
