About this map

Pearlington and the surrounding marshlands of the Mississippi-Louisiana border define this coastal landscape during the late 1960s. The Pearl River snakes toward Lake Borgne, creating a complex network of waterways including Mulatto Bayou and Polecat Bend. This era shows the active Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor crossing the delta, while an Old Railroad Grade near North Side marks a previous era's transport route. Land ownership is noted through large historical tracts like the John B Doby Claim and Nancy Collins Claim, which persist alongside newer features like the Sewage Disposal plant. The presence of the Pearl River Light and the namesake English Lookout highlight the area's long-standing importance for coastal navigation and border observation between St. Tammany and Hancock counties.
