1958 Map of Kreole

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Louisville and Nashville rail lines cut a diagonal path through this coastal landscape, connecting the industrial nodes of Moss Point and Kreole to the broader Gulf corridor. The map reveals a transition from organized settlements like Orange Grove and Orange Lake to the intricate tidal networks of the Grand Bay Swamp. Along the state line between Mississippi and Alabama, the terrain is defined by water, from the winding Escawpa River and Goodes Mill Lake in the north to the brackish reaches of Middle Bay and Grand Bay. Local life is anchored by family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Franklin Ch, Orange Lake Sch, and the Kivisto Cem. The southern edge is dominated by the Jackson County Airport, highlighting the region's mid-century infrastructure alongside the ancient bayous and islands like Big Island.
