Oblique aerial photographs of Dauphin Island

Detailed Description

Oblique aerial photographs of Dauphin Island. The yellow arrow in each image points to the same feature. The photographs are taken from over the Gulf of Mexico looking across the island toward the bay. Note the classic overwash fans extending the entire width of the island. (This westernmost part of Dauphin Island has been cutoff from the rest of the island by a breach initiated in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan and widened by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.)
