About this map

Coinjock and the surrounding marshlands of Currituck County are defined by the critical transit corridor of the Intracoastal Waterway, which cuts through the low-lying peninsula. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate network of water and wetlands that characterize the Outer Banks region, featuring extensive areas like Great Swamp, Maple Swamp, and Laurel Swamp. These ecological features are interspersed with small, established coastal settlements including Aydlett, Bertha, and Poplar Branch.

The map reveals the transition from the North River estuary to the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean, separated by narrow stretches of land and islands such as Buck Island and Green Island. Local roads like Narrow Shore Rd and Poplar Branch Rd provide access to the waterfront, while nautical features such as Gallop Shoal and Grays Rock highlight the maritime hazards and landmarks essential to the local boating and fishing economy.
