About this map

Logtown and Pearlington sit at the edge of the Mississippi-Louisiana border, defined by the winding course of the Pearl River and its complex network of interconnected waterways. This 2015 survey details a landscape where residential development in Pearlington, characterized by streets like Birch Dr and Cedar St, contrasts with the more open, wetland-dominated terrain of the surrounding bayous. The map records the local geography of Mulatto Bayou, Bogue Homa, and Bayou Lacroix, which dictate the drainage and transportation patterns of southern Hancock County.

Historical and genealogical interest is anchored by the presence of Logtown Cem and The Point Cem, preserving the memory of the communities along these tidal waters. Significant thoroughfares such as Old Gainesville Pearlington Rd and Lower Bay Rd provide the primary access through the marshy lowlands. The survey also preserves formal land divisions like Tract 37, alongside specialized infrastructure such as Propellant Blvd and Saturn Dr, hinting at the area's modern industrial significance within the coastal region.
