1958 Map of Kreole

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Escatawpa River winds through a landscape of coastal lowlands and dense swamps along the border of Mississippi and Alabama. In the late 1950s, the industrial character of Kreole and Moss Point is evident, anchored by the transportation corridor of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. This rail line connects several small communities including Orange Grove and Pecan, which are interspersed among extensive wetlands like the Grand Bay Swamp. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Orange Lake Sch and Franklin Creek Ch, while the Jackson County Airport sits near the southern marshes. The complex hydrography of the region is well-documented, showing a network of bayous including Cumbest Bayou and Mattie Clark Bayou that feed into the expansive Middle Bay and Grand Bay.
