About this map

Belle Fontaine Point anchors the coastal reach of this Jackson County coastline, where the suburban streets of Gautier meet the marshy inlets of Graveline Bay. The landscape is defined by the transition from residential developments like those flanking Saint Andrews Golf Course to the intricate network of the Graveline Bayou. This area serves as a primary recreational gateway to the Mississippi Sound, with the Graveline Bayou Boat Ramp providing essential access for local boaters.

Further east, the map details the location of Camp Lamotte and the historic Bethel Cem near the bayou's edge. The vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico dominates the southern half of the sheet, revealing the underwater topography of the Middle Ground shoals. The layout of streets such as Saint Andrews Dr and Belle Fontaine Dr illustrates the late 20th-century residential growth pattern typical of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
