1960 Map of Horn Island East

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Horn Island National Wildlife Refuge serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, illustrating the narrow barrier island chain that separates the Mississippi Sound from the open Gulf of Mexico. The map details the shifting sands and shallow shoals of the Mississippi coast during the early 1960s, including the eastern tip of Horn Island and the western edge of Petit Bois Island. Navigational features are prominent, specifically the Pascagoula Channel and Horn Island Pass, which provide vital corridors for maritime traffic. The survey highlights the ecological and geomorphic transition of these islands, which were mapped by planetable in 1941 and revised shortly before publication to reflect the changing bathymetry and shoreline typical of this hurricane-prone region of Jackson County.
