2016 Map of Corolla

About this map

Corolla occupies the narrowest stretch of the Outer Banks on this coastal survey, where the Atlantic shoreline and the waters of Currituck Beach define a fragile, linear geography. The map documents the residential and recreational development of the community, characterized by a dense network of local routes such as Corolla Village Rd and Schoolhouse Ln. To the west, the landscape transitions into the shallow, sheltered waters of the Currituck Sound, punctuated by Monkey Island and Mary Island. Landforms like Luark Hill stand as prominent markers along the dunes, while the interior sound side is shaped by a series of indentations including Jenkins Cove, Ships Bay, and Raccoon Bay. This survey captures the delicate balance between the exposed oceanfront and the protected marshy coves of Musketo Inlet, showing the area's modern infrastructure set against a dynamic barrier island ecosystem.
