1968 Map of English Lookout

About this map

Pearlington and Ansley anchor this coastal survey where the Pearl River fragments into a complex delta of bayous and passes before meeting Lake Borgne. The landscape is defined by its transition from land to water, featuring large land grants such as the John B Doby Claim and Nancy Collins Claim that hint at early regional property lines. The transportation history of the marsh is visible in the route of the Louisville and Nashville and an Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the wetlands near Long Point.
