The Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge dominates the coastal landscape along the Mississippi-Alabama border, preserving an intricate network of tidal marsh and maritime forest. In this corner of Jackson and Mobile Counties, the transition from the pine flatwoods to the Gulf of Mexico is defined by winding water bodies like the Escatawpa River, Bayou Cumbest, and Bayou Heron. Settlement patterns are concentrated toward the west near Moss Point and Kreole, while smaller communities such as Orange Grove and Pecan are situated along the historic road and rail corridors that parallel the coastline.
