1893 Map of Cat Island

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Cat Island and its surrounding coastal waters dominate this late 19th-century hydrographic survey, which captures the complex shoreline of the Mississippi-Louisiana maritime border. The map provides a detailed look at the island's unique T-shape, including the prominent West Point and the protective Cat Island Light, an essential navigational aid for vessels transitioning between the Mississippi Sound and Chandeleur Sound. Further south, the intricate marshland and barrier formations of the Pitre area and Brush Island reveal the dynamic nature of the Gulf coast before modern shoreline changes.
