1948 Map of Cape Hatteras

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hatteras Island stands as a slender barrier between the restless Atlantic Ocean and the sheltered Pamlico Sound in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the shifting sands of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Cape Hatteras State Park, highlighting the early conservation efforts on the Outer Banks. Along the narrow strip of land, the small settlement of Frisco and the Little Grove Ch represent the local community, while maritime safety is anchored by the Cape Hatteras Coast Guard Sta near the iconic Cape Hatteras point.
