1958 Map of Logtown

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Mississippi Test Facility (NASA) dominates the northern landscape of this coastal survey, marking the era of space-age expansion in Hancock County. To the south, the settlement pattern transitions from the industrial scale of the facility to established communities like Logtown and Pearlington along the Pearl River. The landscape is defined by the dense wetlands of Devils Swamp and Lower Devils Swamp, which are intersected by numerous waterways including Bogue Homa, Whites Bayou, and Mulatto Bayou. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated in the riverside settlements, where features such as the Logtown Cem, The Point Cem, and Mt Zion Ch are preserved. The presence of a Microwave Tower, a Lookout Tower, and an Oil Well highlights the region's mid-century infrastructure, while the Southern railroad line provides a critical transportation link across the marshy terrain.
