About this map

The coastal hamlets of Davis, Stacy, and Sealevel anchor this coastal Carteret County survey, illustrating the intricate relationship between the Outer Banks and the mainland. Along the edge of Core Sound, the landscape is a complex network of marshes and points, including King Point Marsh and the Broad Creek Marsh. The map provides significant detail for maritime history and genealogy, noting family-named sites such as Murphy Cem near Davis and Stacy Cem to the north.

Southwest of the main settlements, the transition from the Davis Ridge to the vast Davis Marsh reflects the low-lying geography of the Down East region. Across the water, the northern reaches of the Cape Lookout National Seashore are visible, encompassing Great Island and Core Banks. This record of the 21st-century shoreline captures the enduring layout of traditional fishing communities and the expansive Open Grounds that dominate the interior topography.
