2019 Map of Cape Hatteras

About this map

Hatteras Island dominates this 2019 survey, showcasing the dynamic coastline of the Outer Banks at the elbow of Cape Point. The interior landscape is defined by a dense network of trails such as the Buxton Woods Trail and Piney Ridge Trail, which weave through the vegetated dunes of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. A poignant reminder of the area's maritime history is found at the WWII British Sailor Cem near the eastern shore, honoring those lost during the Battle of the Atlantic. The map meticulously documents the transition from land to sea, marking the shifting Diamond Shoals and the protected waters of Hatteras Bight, while infrastructure like the Billy Mitchell Airport and Cape Point Campground highlight the area's modern role as a hub for both aviation and coastal recreation.
