2024 Map of Kiln

About this map

Kiln serves as the central hub of this coastal Mississippi landscape, where the inland piney woods meet an intricate network of tidewater bayous. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Jourdan River, which gathers numerous tributaries including Bayou Talla, Mallini Bayou, and Rotten Bayou. This 2024 survey illustrates the contemporary settlement patterns of Hancock County, from the established community at Kiln to the residential expansion of Diamondhead in the southeast. Cultural markers such as the Bayou Coco Cem and Little Rotten Bayou Cem provide essential anchor points for local historians and genealogists. The map also detail various land divisions, including Tract 37 and Tract 40, which reflect the historical surveying and property boundaries that shaped the development of the region. The road network, featuring routes like Rocky Hill Dedeaux Rd and Cuevas Town Rd, connects these waterside settlements through the low-lying terrain.
