1956 Map of Gulfport NW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Alexander Dimitry Claim defines a significant portion of the landscape south of the Wolf River, marking an era of historical land grants that shaped this coastal Mississippi interior. Just north of the growing communities of Gulfport and Long Beach, the map captures a transition from rural timber and farm lands to early suburban expansion. Significant local landmarks include Jones Mill and the U S Naval Reservation at the southern edge, while the spiritual and social life of the area is represented by Our Lady of Mercy Ch and Michael Memorial Ch. The hydrological network is well-defined, showing the paths of Turkey Creek, Big Creek, and the Bernard Bayou. This 1956 survey, later updated with photorevisions, provides researchers with a look at the region's development before the intense coastal urbanization of the late 20th century.
