1893 Map of Cat Island
USGS Topo · Published 1901About this map
Cat Island dominates the northern horizon of this coastal survey, where the Mississippi Sound meets the open waters of the Gulf. Standing as a critical maritime marker at West Point, the Cat Island Light guided vessels navigating the Cat Island Channel and the complex shoals of the Chandeleur Sound. This 1892 compilation by H.L. Baldwin Jr. illustrates a fragile, shifting environment of spits and bays, where every point of land sits less than five feet above sea level.
