About this map

Pascagoula and its industrial waterfront dominate this coastal study, where the Pascagoula River meets the Mississippi Sound. The layout of the city is defined by a dense grid of streets including Washington Ave and Jackson Ave, leading toward the Jackson County Courthouse. The maritime character of the region is evident in the complex network of shipping lanes, such as the Pascagoula Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway, which support the heavy industry along the Bayou Cassotte Channel.

Beyond the urban center, the landscape transitions into the tidal marshes and islands of the Gulf coast. Features like Singing River Island and the more remote Round Island stand as landmarks against the Gulf of Mexico. To the west, the settlement of Gautier sits near the West Pascagoula River, while smaller landmarks like Railroad Corner and Point Tuasaine offer specific points of interest for local historians tracking the development of Jackson County's shoreline.
