2012 Map of Dog Keys Pass

About this map

The Gulf of Mexico dominates this coastal survey, where the waters of the Mississippi Sound meet the open sea. This particular area focuses on the critical maritime corridor known as Dog Keys Pass, defined by the narrow landforms of East Point and West Point. Because this map covers a volatile maritime environment, it emphasizes the shifting coastal geography rather than inland development, providing a clear record of these points as they existed in the early twenty-first century. For those studying the natural history of the Mississippi barrier islands, the sheet captures the exact alignment of these landmarks before subsequent storm cycles or sediment shifts could alter their profile.
