About this map

Pascagoula dominates this coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by maritime industry and public institutions in the late 1990s. The city's grid, featuring streets like Chicago Ave and Beach Blvd, is densely packed with local landmarks, including the Courthouse, Jackson Sch, and Sacred Heart Sch. The shoreline is heavily modified by a complex Levee system and industrial infrastructure, such as the Sewage Disposal Plant and several substations serving the waterfront.

The presence of the Pascagoula Naval Station on a man-made landmass south of Spanish Point underscores the area's strategic naval importance. Cultural and recreational sites are also prominent, from the Longfellow House National Historical Site to the Pascagoula Beach Park and Recreation Area. Off the coast, the isolated Round Island hosts an ABN Lighthouse, marking the transition into the Mississippi Sound.
