2018 Map of Kiln

About this map

Kiln and Fenton anchor the landscape of Hancock County in this 2018 survey, where the winding Jourdan River meets an intricate network of coastal waterways. The southern portion of the map is defined by the planned community of Diamondhead, situated near the confluence of Mallini Bayou and Rotten Bayou. This area shows a distinct shift from the larger, rural tracts to the north—such as Tract 37 and Tract 38—to the denser residential street grids of the coast. For family historians, several small burial grounds are documented, including the Bayou Coco Cem and Rotten Bayou Cem. Infrastructure is dominated by the Stennis International Airport to the southwest, while numerous bayous like Bayou Talla and Bayou Bacon illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Mississippi Gulf Coast region.
