1997 Map of Waveland
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
The coastal landscape of Hancock County meets the Mississippi Sound here, defined by a complex network of wetlands and bayous. In the 1990s, the development of Bayside Park and the waterfront community of Clermont Harbor stood in contrast to the marshy expanses of Lower Devils Swamp. The coastal economy is reflected in the leisure and infrastructure hubs of Buccaneer State Park and Stennis International Airport, while the CSX Transportation rail line provides a vital industrial artery through the marsh. Residential and spiritual life are anchored by the Holy Cross Ch and St Johns Ch, alongside the Gulf View Sch. Interesting historical boundaries are present, notably the George Mares Claim near Lakeshore, a remnant of colonial-era land grants that survived into the modern survey era.
