North Bay and the extensive inlet system of West Bay dominate this coastal landscape, where the land breaks into a complex series of fingers and peninsulas. The community of Southport sits at a critical junction near Fannin Bayou, while to the north, the small settlement of Vicksburg is situated along the corridor of Co Rd 388. The geography is defined by its maritime interface, with numerous named waterways such as Alligator Bayou, Newman Bayou, and Sheephead Bayou cutting deep into the piney flatwoods. Along the southern edge, the northern reaches of Lynn Haven appear near Haven Point and Mill Point, marking the transition toward more developed residential areas. This map documents a region where low-lying wetlands and hammocks like Cedar Hammock are increasingly intersected by modern road networks including Hwy 2300 and Skunk Valley Rd.
