1982 Map of Gautier South

About this map

The low-lying coastal marshes and estuarine waters of Jackson County define this 1982 survey, where the developing community of Gautier sits at the confluence of the West Pascagoula River and Pascagoula Bay. The landscape is dominated by the intricate network of Graveline Bay and Graveline Bayou, separated from the open Mississippi Sound by the protective reach of Belle Fontaine Point. This area reflects the early 1980s transition of a traditional coastal environment into a more structured suburban and recreational landscape.
