2015 Map of Gulfport North

About this map

Gulfport and its northern suburbs are defined by the convergence of the coastal shoreline and the interior river systems of the Mississippi Sound. The southern edge of the map follows the developed beach along E Beach Blvd, passing through Mississippi City and De Buys, while the interior transitions into a network of bayous and creeks. The Bayou Bernard serves as a major geographical divider, separating the dense grid of West Gulfport and Handsboro from northern residential communities like Orange Grove and Landon. The massive footprint of the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport dominates the central landscape, showing how the mid-century aviation era reshaped the traditional patterns of Harrison County. Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem, Handsboro Cem, and Floral Hills Cem, which document the long-standing families of this coastal hub.
