2015 Map of Vancleave

About this map

Pascagoula River bottomlands and the associated bayou systems define the eastern edge of this Jackson County landscape. The settlement of Vancleave sits at the heart of a network of creeks and branches, including Bluff Creek and Little Bluff Creek. The map shows a transition from the structured residential roads like Rolling Hills Drive and Dogwood Drive to the riverfront economy represented by Dees Landing and McCall Landing. Genealogists may find value in the scattered burial grounds that reflect early family holdings, such as Ladner Cemetery and Graham Cemetery, alongside the Old Shiloh Cemetery. To the east, the complex water network of Ward Bayou, Jonican Bayou, and Paige Bayou illustrates the marshy, low-lying character of the river valley before it reaches the Gulf Coast.
