2019 Map of Engelhard NE

About this map

Stumpy Point serves as the primary coastal settlement in this marsh-dominated landscape along the western edge of the Pamlico Sound. The geography is defined by a dense network of naming-conventions reflecting military or local utility, such as Navy Shell Rd, Jackson Rd, and Long Curve Rd, which cut through the vast wetlands. Interior water bodies like Back Lake and Lake Worth are isolated from the larger sound by thin stretches of land terminating at points like Kazer Point. This 2019 survey captures the delicate balance of the Dare County coastline, where small communities rely on the winding corridor of Route 264 for connection. The area remains largely undeveloped, characterized by the expansive National Wetlands Inventory data which reveals the intricate drainage patterns leading into Stumpy Point Bay.
