1954 Map of Gulfport North

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mississippi Sound borders the southern edge of this Harrison County landscape, where the coastal communities of Gulfport, Handsboro, and Mississippi City began their post-war expansion. The infrastructure of the mid-20th century is clearly defined, from the Gulfport Airport and the sprawling U S Naval Reservation to the vital transport links provided by the Illinois Central Railroad. The map captures a period of transition as development pushes north toward the De Soto National Forest, replacing timber and agricultural land with suburban growth.
