2020 Map of Kreole

About this map

Moss Point and its eastern suburbs sit at the heart of this coastal Jackson County landscape, where the Escatawpa River winds through a dense network of wetlands and bayous. The 2020 geography reveals the sprawling residential character of Orange Grove and Kreole, bounded by the transition from riverine plains to the open waters of Middle Bay and Grand Bay. In the northern reaches, timbered terrain and small settlements like Pecan and Missala dot the area near the Mississippi-Alabama border. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Orange Grove Cem, Kivisto Cem, and Finland Cemetery RD E. The southern margin is dominated by an intricate aquatic system of marshland and islands, such as Barton Island and Big Island, where Southwest Bayou and Mattie Clark Bayou define the tidal reach of the Gulf coast.
