1956 Map of Waveland
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Jourdan River winds through a complex network of coastal wetlands and bayous as they meet the Mississippi Sound on this mid-century survey. The landscape reflects the transition from inland swamps like Lower Devils Swamp to established seaside communities. The influence of the Louisville and Nashville railroad is evident, providing a corridor for development in Waveland, Clermont Harbor, and Bayside Park. Historical land divisions, including the George Mares Claim and Widow Morin Claim, persist alongside modern infrastructure like the Stennis International Airport.
