Cat Island dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the unique t-shaped geomorphology of this barrier island within the Gulf Islands National Seashore. The map details the complex interaction of the Mississippi Sound and the Gulf of Mexico, separated by the shifting sands of the island's distinctive eastern spits. One of the most prominent landmarks, the Great Sand Hill, stands near North Point, serving as a high-relief focal point on an otherwise low-lying coastal landscape.
