2015 Map of Deer Island

About this map

Deer Island stretches across the northern portion of this coastal survey, serving as a natural barrier between Biloxi Bay and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This maritime landscape is defined by its protected environments, with much of the territory falling under the jurisdiction of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. The map captures a critical segment of the Intracoastal Waterway as it cuts through the Mississippi Sound, illustrating the essential maritime corridor that supports the region's shipping and transit economy.
