This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Mississippi-Coast-towns-NOAA.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see {{BadJPEG}}.

Reference maps:

Pure stupidity: The map is in quick JPEG format, for large display as highly readable, in about 20 articles that display the map. JPEG clarity is enhanced by painted areas behind many labels, causing the wording to be clearer than even a massive SVG or PNG-format file could provide, due to the sharp display contrast of JPEG files.

JPEG Clarity: Even though JPEG images have artifacts, they can display clearer wording in small maps due to auto-contrast enhancement. The same painted/shaded areas, that illuminate wording, would make the map excessively gargantuan in slow cumbersome PNG or SVG format, as is the case with terrain maps, which also should NEVER be converted to massive PNG format.
