1949 Map of Davis

About this map

Core Sound separates the mainland settlements of Davis, Stacy, and Sealevel from the barrier islands that now form the Cape Lookout National Seashore. This coastal landscape is defined by its intimate relationship with the water, where small fishing and maritime communities are tied to locations like Davis Landing and protected by the long reach of The Spit and Davis Island. The map documents a traditional way of life along the North Carolina coast before modern development, featuring landmarks such as the Stacy Sch and local burial sites like the Murphy Cem and Stacey Cem.
