About this map

The Gulfport Harbor serves as the focal point for this maritime survey, showcasing the deep-water Gulfport Channel cutting through the Mississippi Sound. The industrial and commercial waterfront is clearly defined, featuring Wharf 2 Lights and multiple offshore Platforms that mark the gateway to the Gulf. In the residential and urban areas north of Beach Blvd, a dense network of civic institutions appears, including St Johns Ch, St Therese Acad, and the Gaston Point Sch.

Navigation and coastal geography dominate the southern half of the map, where the Intracoastal Waterway intersects the shipping lanes. The presence of a massive Spoil Area running parallel to the main channel highlights the continuous dredging required to maintain the port’s accessibility. Near the southern edge, the map identifies the natural landscape of Cat Island, North Point, and Raccoon Spit, providing a baseline for studying coastal erosion and shoal migration over time.
