1954 Map of Gulfport North

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Gulfport and its northern reaches are captured here during a period of transition as the Mississippi coast expanded northward into the piney woods. The map shows the established waterfront communities of Mississippi City and Handsboro connected by the Seaboard and Illinois Central Gulf railroads. Significant land use is dedicated to the U S Naval Reservation and the Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport, while the northern landscape remains dominated by rural settlements like Lyman and Nugent. The course of Bernard Bayou serves as a central artery for the area, flowing past the Handsboro Bridge toward Big Lake. Researchers will find notable local landmarks such as Turkey Creek Sch, Evergreen Cem, and the Veterans Hospital, documenting the social and institutional infrastructure of the mid-century coast.
