2000 Map of Horn Island West

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Horn Island stands as a slender barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the calmer waters of the Mississippi Sound. This section of the Gulf Islands National Seashore is characterized by its dynamic coastal environment, where low-lying marshes and sandy ridges shift against the tide. The map reveals remnants of human utility on this isolated landscape, specifically the Flowing Well, Chimney Well, and a Gaging Station Pier along the northern shore. These features suggest the island's role in coastal monitoring and its limited, specialized infrastructure. Landmarks like The Horseshoe and the shallow Middle Ground indicate the complex bathymetry that has long challenged and guided mariners navigating these barrier island passes.
