About this map

Smith Island anchors this orthophotomap, showing the delicate maritime landscape of the North Carolina coast during the early 1970s. The aerial imagery captures the dense vegetation of the interior hammock transitioning into the extensive Tidal Flat areas and winding waterways like Bald Head Creek and Cape Creek. The prominent Bald Head Lighthouse stands as a primary landmark on Bald Head, marking the historic entrance to the river.
