Cat Island defines the coastal boundary of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, acting as a barrier between the Mississippi Sound and the open Chandeleur Sound. The island's distinctive T-shaped morphology is characterized by prominent landforms such as North Point and the extensive South Spit. This survey captures a dynamic shoreline where names like Smugglers Cove and Good Scotch Point hint at a seafaring history tied to the sheltered waters of the Gulf coast.
