Lakeshore and Ansley anchor the coastline where the marshy fingers of the Mississippi Sound meet the Gulf. This contemporary topographical study details a landscape defined by an intricate network of tidal waterways, including Bayou Caddy, Heron Bay Bayou, and Turkey Bayou. The proximity of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Grand Island Channel underscores the maritime activity central to this corner of Hancock County. Inland, the Bayou Caddy Cem serves as a significant genealogical marker near the junction of Bud Ladner Rd and Old Lower Bay Rd. The map also traces the jurisdictional boundary between Mississippi and Louisiana, cutting through Saint Joe Pass between Grassy Island and the isolated marshes of Half Moon Island.
