2019 Map of Beaufort

About this map

The coastal waters of Bogue Sound and Onslow Bay dominate this modern survey, capturing the complex maritime geography of the Outer Banks near the turn of the decade. The historic waterfronts of Morehead City and Beaufort are connected by The Causeway and Radio Island, illustrating the modern infrastructure required to bridge these inlet-divided communities. Significant cultural sites are preserved on the landscape, including the Old Burying Grounds in Beaufort and the sprawling expanse of Cape Lookout National Seashore on the Shackleford Banks. The map reveals the intricate network of channels and sloughs, such as Money Island Slough and Crab Point Thorofare, that define local navigation. From the residential streets of Steep Pines Fork to the aviation facilities at Michael J Smith Field, the survey provides a detailed account of Carteret County's modern development and shoreline character.
