2016 Map of Currituck
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Currituck and the surrounding coastal plains of northeast North Carolina define this landscape of water and low-lying wetlands. The terrain is a complex network of marshes and slow-moving waterways, including the expansive Great Swamp and Black Swamp in the southern reaches. Settlement is concentrated along the higher ground following the road networks, where small communities like Shawboro, Sligo, and Maple are established. The map captures the meeting of land and sea at Tull Bay, while the Intracoastal Waterway runs along the eastern edge, emphasizing the region's historical and modern reliance on maritime transit. The presence of the Currituck County Regional Airport near Maple contrasts with the surrounding rural character, indicating the area's role as a regional hub within the tidewater country.
