1982 Map of Horn Island West

About this map

Horn Island stretches across the northern portion of this survey, serving as a narrow barrier between the relatively calm waters of the Mississippi Sound and the open expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. As part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, the landscape is defined by marshy inlets and shifting coastal topography. The map records several specific navigational and historical markers, including a Gaging Station Pier and a Flowing Well on the sound side, while the interior of the island features a single Chimney landmark.
