1948 Map of Cape Hatteras

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Cape Hatteras stands as the prominent focal point of this coastal study, marking the sharp eastern bend of Hatteras Island. The landscape is a narrow ribbon of sand and marsh caught between the shallow waters of Pamlico Sound and the open Atlantic Ocean. The village of Frisco and the landmark Little Grove Ch represent the small-scale settlement patterns that persisted even as the area transitioned toward conservation and recreation.
