1982 Map of Horn Island West

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Horn Island stretches along the southern edge of the Mississippi Sound in this early 1980s coastal survey. As part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, the barrier island's shifting sands and delicate ecology are documented through topographic and hydrographic data. The map reveals sparse human intervention on the island, noted by functional landmarks such as a Gaging Station Pier, a Flowing Well, and the curious label for a Chimney near the western end. North of the island, the shoals of the Middle Ground and the curved inlet of The Horseshoe illustrate the underwater topography that defines these protected waters. This edition provides a record of the island's morphology before major modern hurricane cycles altered the shoreline, capturing the relationship between the dunes and the vast Gulf of Mexico to the south.
