2013 Map of Coinjock

About this map

The North River and the expansive waters of the Currituck Sound dominate this coastal landscape of Currituck County. Historically situated along the Intracoastal Waterway, the settlement of Coinjock serves as a central hub in a network of water-dependent communities, including Aydlett and Poplar Branch. The geography is defined by a complex system of inlets and islands, where features like Buck Island, Indian Island, and Green Island sit between Taylor Bay and the river’s main channel. The road network, including Young Rd and Aydlett Rd, connects these waterfront landings to inland points like Bertha. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring coastal character of the Outer Banks region, highlighting various landings and shoals such as Poplar Branch Landing and Gallop Shoal that remain vital to local navigation and identity.
