About this map

The Wolf River winds through the heart of this coastal Mississippi landscape, defining the boundary between Hancock and Harrison counties. In the early 1980s, this area remained largely rural, characterized by a network of creek systems including Crane Creek, Bell Creek, and Sandy Creek. Small communities such as Riceville and Sellers are connected by local routes like Mc Henry Road and Riceville Road, while the southern reaches feature the settlement of Dedeaux and the Salmon Scout Reservation.

Local heritage is deeply rooted in the numerous country churches and family burial grounds scattered across the terrain. Genealogists can identify specific sites like Wolf River Cem, Shaw Cem, and Sand Hill Cem. The religious life of the community is reflected in landmarks such as Bethel Memorial Ch, Wolf Creek Ch, and the uniquely named First Pentecostal Lighthouse. To the east, the map captures the western edge of Lizana and the upper reaches of the Little Biloxi River.
