2015 Map of Mississippi Sound (All Water)

About this map

Mississippi Sound and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this 2015 maritime survey south of Harrison County. The map documents the critical shipping and navigation arteries of the Mississippi coast, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulfport Channel, which facilitate industrial and commercial transit through these shallow coastal waters. A portion of the Gulf Islands National Seashore is visible in the lower right corner, marking the protected maritime environment that defines this stretch of the Gulf. This survey provides a precise record of the bathymetric and navigational landscape of the Sound in the mid-2010s, capturing the area as a dedicated maritime corridor for both commerce and conservation.
