2021 Map of Latimer

About this map

De Soto National Forest covers a significant portion of this Jackson County landscape, where the coastal piney woods meet the intricate drainages of the Gulf Coast watershed. The settlement of Latimer serves as a local hub, connected by historical routes such as Old Biloxi Rd and Larue Rd to the community of Larue in the north. This modern survey reflects a region where conservation and rural development coexist, evidenced by the southern border with the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge. Numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites are preserved here, including the Wilkerson Cem and Seymour Cem. The area is defined by its water, with Bluff Creek and Bayou Costapia carving through the terrain, illustrating the low-lying, riparian character of Mississippi’s coastal plain just inland from the sound.
