Biloxi and Ocean Springs dominate this coastal landscape at the junction of Back Bay of Biloxi and Biloxi Bay. The map illustrates a densely developed shoreline where the Memorial Bridge and Biloxi Bay Bridge link the two major cities across the water. Moving inland, the suburban residential patterns of St. Martin and Gulf Hills give way to extensive protected areas. Large sections of the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge and the Gulf Islands National Seashore encompass the marshes and pine flatwoods, including Deer Island and Marsh Point. The northern reaches around Latimer show the branching drainage of Perigal Creek and Old Fort Bayou Creek, providing a clear view of the region's complex estuarine geography and contemporary infrastructure, such as the Ocean Springs Airport.
