1982 Map of Pascagoula North

About this map

The branching waterways of the Pascagoula West River and Little River define this coastal Mississippi landscape in the early 1980s. A intricate network of bayous, including Whiskey Bayou and Creole Bayou, weaves through the marshlands between the growing centers of Escatawpa, Moss Point, and Pascagoula. The map reveals a community organized around its riverbanks and rail lines, most notably the Louisville and Nashville corridor cutting through the southern reach. Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, such as Mormon Cem, Griffin Cem, and Evergreen Memorial Gardens. The infrastructure of the era is well-represented, from the Singing River Hosp to a collection of neighborhood schools like Kreole Sch and Magnolia Jr High Sch, reflecting the residential expansion near the industrial riverfronts.
