1948 Map of Cape Hatteras

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Cape Hatteras stands as the defining landmark on this late 1940s survey of the Outer Banks, marking the sharp elbow of Hatteras Island where the Pamlico Sound meets the Atlantic. The landscape is characterized by a sparse settlement pattern concentrated near Frisco and the maritime infrastructure of the Cape Hatteras Coast Guard Sta. A prominent Telephone Line traces the spine of the island, connecting the small community at Creeds Hill to the lighthouse and lookout points near Cape Point.
