About this map

Hunting Quarters and the Core Banks define this coastal landscape, where the labyrinthine waters of Core Sound separate the mainland from the barrier beach. The shoreline is defined by a succession of marshy points and coves, including King Point Marsh and Brett Bay. Small, established communities like Davis, Stacy, and Sealevel are clustered along the narrow neck of land between the sound and the Open Grounds to the west.

Local life at mid-century is centered around resources like Davis Landing and institutions such as Stacy School and the Stacy Cem. Further out in the sound, the Carteret Rod and Gun Club and various islands like Great Island and Horse Island point toward the area's long-standing connection to maritime recreation and wildlife. The map also traces the path of a prominent Telephone Line that links these maritime outposts across the marshes.
