2018 Map of Gulfport NW

About this map

Wolf River and its meandering tributaries dominate this Harrison County landscape, winding through a dense network of residential streets and rural corridors just north of the Mississippi Sound. The transition from the urban fringes of Gulfport and Long Beach to the interior is marked by significant hydrological features like Bayou Bernard and Turkey Creek. Land use varies from the densely packed blocks of the coastal cities to the more dispersed settlements of New Hope and Jones Mill. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by landmarks such as Monroe Memorial Park and Allen Cem, while the infrastructure is defined by crossings like Rouse Bridge and a complex system of drainage including Canal Number Two. This 2018 survey documents the modern suburban sprawl and the persistent wetland networks that define the topography of the Gulf Coast hinterlands.
