About this map

Beaufort and Morehead City dominate this coastal landscape at the convergence of the Newport River, Bogue Sound, and the Atlantic Ocean. The map provides a detailed view of the maritime infrastructure and historical preservation areas of the early 21st century, including the Beaufort Restoration Grounds and the Beaufort Docks. Local history is anchored by significant interment sites like the Old Burying Grounds, Bay View Cemetery, and Ocean View Cemetery.

Complex coastal geography is evident in the cluster of landforms such as Radio Island, Pivers Island, and the natural barrier of Bird Shoal. Beyond the urban centers, smaller residential pockets like Carolina City, Lenoxville, and Atlantic Beach illustrate the spread of development along the waterfront. Transportation networks are clearly defined, from The Causeway and Piggotts Bridge to specialized facilities like the Morehead City State Port Terminal Airport.
