1950 Map of Ship Island

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Ship Island serves as a critical barrier between the Mississippi Sound and the open Gulf of Mexico, as documented in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure and shifting sands, notably at West Point and the Northwest Bluff. The map records several significant federal and maritime landmarks, including the defensive works of Old Fort Massachusetts on the western end and the Ship Island Lighthouse nearby.
