2024 Map of Gautier South

About this map

Graveline Bay and the winding Graveline Bayou dominate the coastal topography of this Jackson County shoreline, where residential development in Gautier meets the tidal marshlands. The map reveals a transition from established neighborhoods near Bethel Cem to the protected wilderness of the Gulf Islands National Seashore along the southern horizon. This coastal survey documents the intricate intersection of land and sea at Belle Fontaine Point, framing the northern reaches of the Mississippi Sound and its connection to the Intracoastal Waterway. To the south, the northern edge of Horn Island stands as a barrier against the Gulf of Mexico, while the Middle Ground shoal marks the navigation challenges within the sound. Local road networks like Biddix-Evans Rd and Belle Fontaine Rd provide the backbone for the community's contemporary layout.
