2013 Map of Buxton OE E

About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this offshore view from the Outer Banks, captured as part of a 2013 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey. Situated just east of the barrier island shoreline, the map reveals the maritime character of the Dare County coast. The only terrestrial feature visible is a narrow segment of NC-12 along the western margin, the lifeline road that connects the remote coastal villages. This sheet highlights the proximity of the coastal highway to the shifting sands and surf, offering a focused look at the immediate offshore environment before the deeper waters of the open ocean. It serves as a specific reference for the coastal geography and transportation infrastructure of the Buxton and Avon vicinity at this time.
