Pearlington and the remnants of Logtown anchor this coastal landscape along the Pearl River delta. The area is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Bogue Homa, Cowan Bayou, and Mulatto Bayou, which meander through the expanse of Devils Swamp. This terrain reflects the deep integration of scientific infrastructure and traditional settlements, with the massive footprint of the Naval Research Laboratory Stennis Space Center occupying the northern reaches. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of Logtown Cem and Point Cem, alongside a street-level grid in Pearlington featuring family-named routes like Hover Rd and Whipple Rd. The transition from marshland to managed government space is evident through specialized thoroughfares such as Shuttle Pkwy and S Canal Rd.
