1950 Map of Cape Hatteras

About this map

Hatteras Island forms a thin, sandy barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound in this mid-century coastal study. The landscape is defined by the sharp elbow of Cape Hatteras and its southern extension at Cape Point, where the shifting shoreline protects the waters of Hatteras Bight. On the interior of the island, a single Telephone Line runs parallel to the coast, connecting the settlement of Frisco to the maritime infrastructure of the Coast Guard Sta.
