About this map

The Escatawpa River defines the landscape of the Mississippi-Alabama borderlands, winding southward toward the Gulf of Mexico through a complex network of coastal bayous. The industrial and residential communities of Kreole and East Moss Point sit at the southwestern edge of the survey, where the terrestrial environment transitions into the marshy reaches of Bayou Cumbest and North Bayou. The interior is marked by small settlements like Orange Grove and Pecan, alongside family landmarks such as the Orange Grove Cem and Kivisto Cem.

Transport corridors and water bodies illustrate the local economy of Jackson County, Mississippi, and Mobile County, Alabama. Features like Goodes Mill Lake and Jackson Cr indicate the significance of the river system, while the community of Missala straddles the state line. Along the coast, the map details significant natural features including Grand Bay, Big Island, and Barton Island, providing a clear view of the shoreline before the further development of the twenty-first century.
