About this map

The Outer Banks narrow into a fragile strip of sand and marshland in this coastal survey, where the settlement of Corolla sits anchored between the vast Atlantic Ocean and the intricate shoreline of the sound. The geography here is defined by shifting water and stabilizing dunes, with landmarks like Luark Hill and Catesbys Run rising above the low-lying wetlands. Development follows a linear pattern along roads like Ocean Trail and Sandpiper Road, concentrated primarily around the Currituck Beach area and the local Post Office.

West of the primary barrier beach, the map details a complex network of small landmasses and inlets including Monkey Island and Mary Island. These features, alongside Musketo Inlet and Raccoon Bay, illustrate the delicate balance of the Currituck Sound ecosystem. The transit network, including Corolla Village Road and North Beach Access Road, provides a clear view of how human activity has adapted to this slender maritime environment.
