1982 Map of Camden Point

About this map

North River separates the marshy peninsulas of Camden and Currituck counties in this 1980s orthophotomap, which combines aerial imagery with topographic data. The landscape is dominated by the wedge of Camden Point, terminating at North River Point where the river meets the Albemarle Sound. This era of mapping documents the established maritime infrastructure of the Intracoastal Waterway, marked by a series of navigational lights guiding vessels through the channel. On the eastern shore, the settlement of Grandy and the developed Walnut Island reflect the residential patterns of the Currituck Sound region. Local history is preserved in the location of several Cem sites and a specific Grave near the riverbanks, alongside community hubs like Mt Zion Ch and the Cathedral of the Cross. The intricate network of tidal creeks, including Broad Creek and Lutz Cr, highlights the low-lying, water-dependent nature of this coastal environment.
