2020 Map of Gautier South

About this map

Gautier and its coastal surroundings are defined by an intricate network of marshes and inlets along the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal landscape features the Graveline Bay and Graveline Bayou complex, which separates the mainland residential developments from the open waters of the Mississippi Sound. The map documents a residential pattern transitioning from the denser streets of the town center to the long, waterfront properties along Belle Fontaine Rd and Point Aux Chenes Rd. A significant portion of the southern area is dedicated to the Gulf Islands National Seashore, including the northern coastline of Horn Island. This area preserves the barrier island and coastal marsh ecosystems as they appeared in the early 21st century. Further inland, the Bethel Cem serves as a notable genealogical landmark within the eastern reaches of the town near Pascagoula Bay.
