About this map

The marshy lowlands and sounds of Currituck County are defined here by a network of islands and essential water crossings. Knotts Island stands as a primary focal point in the north, connected to the mainland via the Currituck - Knotts Island Ferry which traverses the open waters of Currituck Bay. The landscape is a mosaic of points and inlets, including Goosecastle Point and Wolf House Point, separated by expansive water bodies like Coinjock Bay and Cedar Island Bay.

Family history is preserved in small landholdings and isolated burial grounds such as the Claudia Capps Home Place Cem, Ballance Cem, and the Hampton Family Cem near the community of Waterlily. To the south, the settlement of Barco serves as a terrestrial hub near the head of Bells Island Rd. The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway and various swamps like Maple Swamp and Black Swamp highlights the maritime and hydrologic character of this coastal North Carolina environment.
