The coastal front of Gulfport dominates the upper corner of this map, showing the city's transition into the Gulf of Mexico. The grid of streets and avenues, including 45th Ave and 30th Ave, leads toward the waterfront at Gaston Point. Beyond the shoreline and Memorial Park, the map reveals a complex maritime landscape. The deep-water Gulfport Channel cuts through the Mississippi Sound, providing critical access for shipping. Further south, the map details navigational features and hazards such as the Intracoastal Waterway, Man of War Harbor, and the shallow reaches of Spade Fish Shoal near North Point. This layout illustrates the coastal economy of Mississippi, where urban development meets industrial shipping lanes and natural shoals.
