1956 Map of Gulfport NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Wolf River and its complex network of tributaries, including Bayou Bernard and Turkey Creek, anchor this coastal Mississippi landscape north of the sound. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural and rural character of the County Farm and Jones Mill toward the expanding infrastructure of the mid-20th century. Notable cultural and religious sites like Our Lady of Mercy Ch and Michael Memorial Ch are documented alongside earlier historical footprints such as the Alexander Dimitry Claim. The southern portion of the sheet shows the development of the U S Naval Reservation, while numerous pits scattered throughout the terrain suggest active resource extraction during this period of growth. This survey captures a mix of longstanding family and community markers, including Allen Cem and the Gulf Haven Ch Cem, set within a landscape being reshaped by new canal systems and highway routes.
