About this map

The labyrinthine wetlands of the Pearl River State Wildlife Management Area dominate this 1993 revision, capturing the transition from the densely forested bayous of the Pearl River delta to the expanding suburbs of Slidell. The map illustrates a landscape of complex waterways where the Middle River and West Pearl River fork around features like Goat Island and Maddens Island. This riparian environment is punctuated by long-established river landings such as Morgan Bluff and Davis Landing, which historically served as vital points of access before modern infrastructure arrived.

On the eastern edge, the industrial and technological presence of the John C Stennis Space Center (NASA) contrasts sharply with the nearby river settlements. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous community landmarks, from the Haaswood Cem and Roussiaux Cem to schools like Honey Island Sch and Emerson Academy. The presence of the Southern railroad line and emerging subdivisions along Lake Village Blvd reflects the late-20th-century growth pushing out from the Mississippi-Louisiana border.
