About this map

Moss Point and Escatawpa define the industrial and residential heart of this coastal river network, where the Pascagoula River and the Escatawpa River converge. This 2012 survey illustrates the complex relationship between land and water in Jackson County, showing a landscape fragmented by dozens of named bayous, including Buzzard Bayou and Creole Bayou, alongside large interior water bodies like Big Lake.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the concentration of burial grounds, such as the Old Spanish Fort Cem and Evergreen Memorial Gardens. The map also captures the critical transportation and recreational infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the Trent Lott International Airport to numerous public access points like the Moss Point Boat Launch and Hickory Street Launch. The transition from the developed streets of Gautier to the expansive wetlands of Lowry Island and Marsh Lake highlights the enduring character of the Mississippi Gulf Coast's river delta.
