About this map

Pascagoula's complex maritime geography is defined by the convergence of the Pascagoula River and the Mississippi Sound. This survey captures the intricate network of industrial and natural waterways, from the deep Pascagoula Channel to the marshy reaches of Belle Fontaine-Bayou and Lac La Buche. The city's civic heart is anchored by the Jackson County Courthouse, while the surrounding street grid extends toward the bay.

Infrastructure like the Singing River Bridge and the Railroad Corner highlight the historical importance of transit in this coastal hub. Offshore, the landscape is shaped by distinctive landforms such as Singing River Island and the isolated Round Island. The presence of the Memorial Gardens Cem and numerous named points like Spanish Point and Point Tuasaine offer valuable landmarks for researchers tracing the development of the Gulf Coast shoreline and its urban evolution.
