Currituck Sound dominates this landscape, revealing the intricate water-and-land interface of the Outer Banks region at the close of the twentieth century. The community of Knotts Island is accessible by the Knotts Island Ferry, which crosses the broad waters from the North Landing River, highlighting the maritime dependency of the area. To the south, the settlement of Barco serves as a terrestrial hub near the North River State Game Land, while Waterlily sits isolated at the end of a narrow peninsula on Church Island.
