2018 Map of Gautier South

About this map

Gautier and its southern coastal reaches are documented here as they appeared in 2018, defined by the complex interface of the Mississippi coast. The landscape is dominated by the tidal waters of Graveline Bay and Graveline Bayou, which separate the residential developments of the mainland from the marshy shoreline at Belle Fontaine Point. To the east, the map captures the transition toward Pascagoula Bay, while the residential grid of Gautier is anchored by landmarks like the Bethel Cem. Further south across the Mississippi Sound, the survey includes the northern portion of Horn Island, part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. This section of the barrier island system, along with the Intracoastal Waterway, highlights the area's significance for both conservation and maritime navigation in the modern era.
