About this map

Wiggins serves as the central hub of this Stone County landscape, where the modern grid of the city meets the established rural patterns of southeast Mississippi. The northern reach is anchored by the Flint Creek Reservoir, while to the south, the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College Perkinston Campus defines the settlement of Perkinston. This area is particularly rich in family and community history, evidenced by a high density of burial grounds such as Shadeville Park Memorial Cem, Welcome Hill Cem, and the Hickman Cem.

The terrain is defined by a network of waterways including Tenmile Cr and Kirby Cr, which weave through natural features like the Ball Hill Reed Brake and Open Gap. Historical connectivity is visible through the transition from small settlements like Stillmore and Ten Mile to the infrastructure of the Dean Griffin Memorial Airport. From the organized streets of the city to the creek-side roads of the backcountry, the map provides a clear view of how educational institutions and community landmarks have shaped the local identity.
