2015 Map of Waveland

About this map

Waveland and Bay St Louis anchor this coastal landscape, showing the dense residential grid of the Mississippi sound just years after modern redevelopment transformed the shoreline. To the north, the planned community of Diamondhead is characterized by winding suburban lanes like Noma Dr and Alapai Dr, contrasting sharply with the rectangular blocks of Shoreline Park and Bayside Park. This region is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Jourdan River meets a network of smaller channels including Edwards Bayou and Breath Bayou. The map illustrates a landscape of coastal marshes and ridges, notably Jackson Ridge and the Jackson Marsh, while aviation infrastructure at Stennis International Airport and Diamondhead Airport marks the area's modern transit role. Further west, smaller coastal settlements like Clermont Harbor and Lakeshore line the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
