1940 Map of Barco
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The Inland Waterway bisects the mainland and the Outer Banks in this 1940 military survey, detailing a landscape where the Currituck Sound dominates the coastal geography. On the barrier island, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and several Coast Guard stations, including Corolla C. G. Sta. 166 and Poyner Hill C. G. Sta, stand watch over the Atlantic Ocean. The mainland is characterized by the expansive Great Swamp and a series of landings and small settlements like Coinjock and Poplar Branch that serve as vital nodes for sound-side activity.
