2015 Map of Kiln

About this map

Stennis International Airport and the surrounding piney woods of Hancock County dominate this 2015 survey, illustrating the convergence of modern aviation infrastructure with the intricate hydrology of the Gulf Coast. The town of Kiln serves as a central hub, where the Jourdan River and Bayou Talla meet amidst a network of rural routes like Kiln-Picayune Rd and Cuevas Rd. To the east, the planned community of Diamondhead shows a contrasting high-density street pattern near Rotten Bayou. Family history and local heritage are anchored by small communities such as Catahoula, Wiehe, and Fenton, alongside traditional burial sites including Bayou Coco Cem and Little Rotten Bayou Cem. The map's detail of bayous like Mallini Bayou and Bayou La Terre reveals the low-lying, water-braided landscape that defines this region of Mississippi.
