2011 Map of Cape Hatteras

About this map

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse stands as a sentinel on this barrier island survey, marking the sharp bend where the Outer Banks meet the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by the Cape Hatteras Natl Seashore, where wind-swept terrain like Creeds Hill and the prominent Cape Point shape the shifting shoreline. This 2011 edition shows the intersection of aviation and maritime history, featuring the Billy Mitchell Airport situated just inland from the surf. Offshore, the notorious Hatteras Shoals extend into the Atlantic Ocean, illustrating the treacherous underwater geography that has challenged mariners for centuries. Local access is traced through routes such as Piney Ridge Rd, providing a detailed look at the island's narrow footprint between the sound and the sea.
