Gulfport and the adjacent shoreline of Long Beach anchor the northern edge of this coastal survey, where the urban grid meets the Mississippi Sound. The map focuses heavily on the maritime infrastructure of the Mississippi coast, highlighting the deep-water Gulfport Channel and the transit lines of the Ferry (Water) crossing the sound. While the mainland portion shows established streets like W Beach Blvd and Old Pass Rd, the majority of the sheet is dedicated to the nautical geography of the Intracoastal Waterway and various hazards and harbors. To the south, isolated features such as North Point, Spade Fish Shoal, and Raccoon Swash provide crucial landmarks for navigating the shallow waters near Man of War Harbor. This document effectively illustrates the spatial relationship between the developed city front at Gaston Point and the vast aquatic territory that drives the regional economy.
