2024 Map of Necaise

About this map

Necaise and its surrounding rural community in Hancock County are defined by a complex network of coastal plain waterways and family-named roads. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of generational landholdings, with numerous local thoroughfares like Oris Ladner Rd, Wendell Ladner Rd, and Caesar Necaise Rd reflecting the heritage of the region. The landscape is dominated by the winding paths of White Cypress Creek and Bayou Bacon, which drain the low-lying terrain. While much of the area remains wooded or agricultural, the presence of the Mint Julep Airpark and Necaise Crossing Cem points to the diverse uses of the land, from modern aviation to quiet local history. The map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of Orphan Creek and Bayou La Terre, which characterize the interior of the county away from the Gulf coast.
