2021 Map of Logtown

About this map

Logtown and its surrounding wetlands define this coastal Hancock County landscape, where the interplay of bayous and swamps dictates the historical pattern of settlement. Local genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the area, including Logtown Cem, Napoleon Cem, and the uniquely named The Point Cem. The terrain is characterized by intricate water systems such as Devils Swamp, Lower Devils Swamp, and the winding Bogue Homa, which once supported the timber and transport economy of the Pearl River region. Modern infrastructure, represented by Shuttle Pkwy and Propellant Blvd, cuts through the older grid of rural roads and land tracts like Tract 37. This map documents a quiet, water-dominated territory where the legacy of early Mississippi settlements persists alongside the technological footprint of the nearby space center's buffer zones, visible through the bayous like Mulatto Bayou and Pate Bayou.
