About this map

Currituck Beach Lighthouse stands as the primary landmark on this narrow barrier island stretch, anchoring the southern portion of the map near the Corolla settlement. This 2013 survey reveals the thin strip of land separating the Currituck Sound from the Atlantic Ocean, a landscape defined by brackish inlets and coastal development. Small islands like Monkey Island and Mary Island dot the sound, while the mainland side is indented by Jenkins Cove and Ships Bay.

Residential growth is concentrated along the oceanfront, with networks of sand-based roads such as Ocean Pearl Rd and Sandfiddler Rd serving the communities of Seagull and Ocean Hills. The topographical transition from the sound-side marshes to the coastal dunes is punctuated by elevations like Luark Hill. The map meticulously records the infrastructure of the early 2010s, including the Monkey Island Water Tank and the layout of Corolla Village Rd.
