2024 Map of Gulfport NW

About this map

The Wolf River and its meandering tributaries, including Big Creek and Flat Branch, dominate this Harrison County landscape as it enters the twenty-first century. This coastal Mississippi interior shows a transition from rural wooded tracts near Big Hill to the denser suburban edges of Gulfport and Long Beach. Significant local landmarks provide anchors for genealogical research, such as the Allen Cem and the northern settlement of Lyman. The map details a complex hydrologic network where Turkey Creek and Bayou Bernard weave through low-lying areas. Transport infrastructure is clearly defined, from the local historical crossing at Bell Ferry to the industrial corridor of the CSX Transportation railroad. The inclusion of Jones Mill and Monroe Memorial Park reflects the continued importance of these named sites within the community's contemporary geography.
