1994 Map of Pass Christian

About this map

The coastal landscape of Harrison County is defined by the dense residential and educational corridor along the Mississippi Sound in the early 1990s. The shoreline is characterized by the contiguous growth of Pass Christian and Long Beach, anchored by institutional landmarks such as the Univ Of Southern Miss (Gulf Park College) and the U S Naval Reservation. Further inland, the map captures a network of rural communities and crossroads, including Acadia and Cuevas, where local life centered around small churches like Our Lady Of Lourdes Ch and Antioch Ch. The drainage patterns of Wolf River and Portage Bayou contrast with the engineered drainage of CanAL No 1, reflecting the region's managed coastal plains. This era shows the developed waterfront just before significant modern changes, preserving the locations of legacy sites like the Courtenay Cem and Lumpkin Stadium.
