Description: Original antique 1853 nautical survey map of Horn Island Pass. The map is drawn on a scale of 1:40,000 and shows water depths, tides, navigational aids, and sailing directions, with ranges and bearings. Topography on Horn Island and Petit Bois Island is shown in relief, and a letter key identifies bottom conditions in the water area. The map was published in Report of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey, Showing the Progress of the Survey During the Year 1853, printed in Washington, D.C., by Robert Armstrong, Public Printer, 1854. The image area measures 31 x 40.7 cm [12¼" x 16"], and the triangulation is by Ferdinand H. Gerdes.

Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions. This is an original, authentic antique map, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine.

Horn Island pass is the entrance from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mississippi Sound and the Pascagoula River, southeastern Mississippi. The Pascagoula is often called the "Singing River." According to legend, the peace-loving Pascagoula Indian tribe sang as they walked hand-in-hand into the river to avoid fighting with the invading Biloxi tribe. Buy with confidence!
