Cape Hatteras and the surrounding Outer Banks environment are shown here at a moment when the shifting sands of Diamond Shoals and Hatteras Shoals continue to define this maritime landscape. The map emphasizes the coastal transition between the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound, featuring the protective reach of the Cape Hatteras Natl Seashore. Local infrastructure on Hatteras Island includes residential streets such as Piney Ridge Rd and Lovey Rd, alongside the small Billy Mitchell Airport. Notable coastal landmarks like Creeds Hill and the prominent Cape Point are documented, capturing the exact shoreline profile and the orientation of Hatteras Bight before subsequent storm seasons further altered the barrier island's fragile topography.
