Biloxi and Ocean Springs face each other across the waters of Biloxi Bay, linked by the massive Biloxi Bay Bridge and the Memorial Bridge. This coastal landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, where Old Fort Bayou and St Martin Bayou wind through residential developments like Gulf Hills and Fort Bayou Estates. The map shows a transition from the dense urban grid of the historic harbor areas to the protected natural expanse of the Gulf Islands National Seashore along the southern coastline. Further inland, the map documents the northward expansion of the Gulf Coast community through suburban enclaves such as Martins Pine Hill Estates and Saint Martin, while the Ocean Springs Airport and the historic Antioch Cem serve as prominent local landmarks. Offshore, the long profile of Deer Island provides a natural breakwater for the bay, illustrating the geographic relationship between the mainland settlements and the Gulf of Mexico.
