Hancock County Pictorial Map

Here is the Hancock County Pictorial Map I drew in 1991 for A.G. Crowe. It features Bay St. Louis and Waveland, Mississippi.

Hancock County was named after John Hancock. It was formed in December, 1812, from the West Florida territory. Bay St. Louis became incorporated in February, 1838, first known as Shieldsborough. Waveland was organized in March of 1888 when it was granted a municipal charter. The area has a history rich and colorful as a popular resort and summer retreat.
