1985 Map of Cape Hatteras

About this map

Cape Hatteras National Seashore dominates this mid-1980s coastal survey, depicting the fragile barrier islands where the Atlantic Ocean meets Pamlico Sound. This planimetric study illustrates the precarious geography of the Outer Banks, from the curved hook of Cape Hatteras to the narrow stretch of Ocracoke Island. The map records a specific moment in maritime history, noting the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (Aband) and the Cape Hatteras Coast Guard Sta at the elbow of the coast.
