1950 Map of Ship Island
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Ship Island serves as a critical narrow barrier between the Mississippi Sound and the open Gulf of Mexico, as documented in this 1950 survey. The western end of the island is anchored by Old Fort Massachusetts and the Ship Island Lighthouse at West Point, marking the entrance to Ship Island Harbor. These structures reflect the island's long-standing role in coastal defense and navigation for vessels transiting the Gulfport Channel.
