About this map

The Mississippi Gulf Coast at the dawn of the 2010s reveals a dense landscape of coastal settlements and intricate waterways. This survey highlights the established shoreline communities of Long Beach and Pass Christian, separated by the smaller historic locales of Cuevas and White Harbor. A significant institutional presence is marked by the University of Southern Mississippi-Gulf Park Campus situated along the coastal front.

The area's geography is defined by the transition from the Gulf of Mexico to the inland marshlands via Bayou Portage and the Wolf River. A complex network of drainage, including Canal Number One and Canal Number Two, underpins the local development. Infrastructure for maritime and rail transit is central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Long Beach Marina and the CSX Transportation line running parallel to the coast, serving as a vital link for these harbor towns.
