1956 Map of Gulfport NW

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Alexander Dimitry Claim cuts a diagonal boundary across this Harrison County landscape, reflecting the intricate history of land titles in coastal Mississippi. In the mid-1950s, the area northwest of Gulfport remained largely rural, defined by the winding course of the Wolf River and its tributaries like Big Creek and Flat Branch. Smaller communities and landmarks are scattered throughout the piney woods, including New Hope and Jones Mill, while institutional presence is marked by the County Farm and the northern edge of a U S Naval Reservation near Canal No 1. Local heritage is anchored by several rural congregations and burying grounds, such as Gulf Haven Ch Cem, Allen Cem, and the Michael Memorial Ch. Drainage patterns are visible through works like the Levee systems and artificial waterways including Canal No 2, which support the low-lying terrain near Turkey Creek.
