About this map

Pamlico Sound dominates the eastern edge of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape of Dare County meets the expansive waters of Stumpy Point Bay. The small community of Stumpy Point serves as the primary human anchor, situated near the transition from shoreline to the dense wetland interior. This low-lying terrain is defined by a network of specialized routes such as Navy Shell Rd and Navy Lead Rd, which hint at historical or government utility within the marshy expanses.

Water is the defining characteristic of the geography, with isolated bodies like Back Lake and Lake Worth situated inland from the sound. To the south, Deep Creek and the protrusion of Kazer Point illustrate the intricate, shifting boundary between land and sea. The concentration of roads like Long Curve Rd and Jackson Rd suggests a landscape shaped by local navigation through these coastal wetlands in the early 21st century.
