1997 Map of Gulfport NW

About this map

The Wolf River winds through the western reaches of Harrison County, shaping a landscape defined by its coastal bayous and emerging suburban developments near the Mississippi Sound. This late-twentieth-century study of the area north of Long Beach and Gulfport reveals a mix of older rural landmarks and significant government installations. The U S Naval Reservation occupies a substantial footprint in the southeast, while the interior is dotted with community centers like Our Lady of Mercy Ch and Michael Memorial Ch. A unique historical layer is preserved in the Alexander Dimitry Claim, a legacy of early land grants that persists alongside the modern infrastructure of Interchange 31. Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by Canal No 1, Canal No 2, and a series of levees protecting local settlements such as Jones Mill and New Hope.
