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 photograph is taken from over the Gulf of Mexico looking across the island toward the bay. This location is immediately west of Katrina Cut. Note the new breach. The surge and wave setup and runup overtopped the island and severed it, creating a new breach and leaving a classic overwash fan on the bayside.
