About this map

The Escatawpa River defines the western reaches of this coastal landscape, winding southward toward the Gulf of Mexico. Along the Mississippi and Alabama state line, small settlements like Missala and Pecan sit near the crossing of the Franklin Cr and Black Creek drainages. The map reveals a dense network of coastal bayous and islands, including Barton Island and Big Island situated within Grand Bay.

Genealogists can locate several burial sites including Orange Grove Cem, Kivisto Cem, and Dees Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the residential streets of East Moss Point and Kreole to the expansive wetlands of the Bayou La Fourche Bay. Transportation routes such as the Spanish Trl and Old Hwy 90 cut through the terrain, connecting established communities like Orange Grove to the surrounding river system and the coastal marshlands.
