1954 Map of Deer Island

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Deer Island stretches across the northern portion of this coastal survey, serving as a natural barrier between the open waters of the Mississippi Sound and the protected reaches of Biloxi Bay. The map provides a detailed look at the aquatic geography of the Mississippi coastline in the mid-1950s, documenting the vital Intracostal Waterway as it traverses the sound with a noted project depth of 12 feet. Along the shoreline, intricate marshy inlets like Ramsay Bayou and Simmons Bayou intersect the land, while Grand Bayou cuts through the island itself. The survey also captures the indefinite boundary between Harrison and Jackson counties as it extends into the coastal waters, reflecting the era's marine surveying standards and the shifting nature of this tidal landscape.
