2011 Map of Gull Island

About this map

Gull Island sits as a solitary landform within the expansive waters of the Pamlico Sound, providing a precise look at this portion of the Outer Banks region in 2011. This specific coastal area is defined almost entirely by its marine environment, showing the island's isolation several miles from the mainland or the primary barrier islands. The map highlights the shifting nature of these coastal features, where Gull Island serves as one of the few stable points of reference for local navigation or ecological study within this section of the sound. This survey focuses on the intersection of hydrography and terrain, documenting the exact shoreline of the island at the time of the NAIP imagery in late 2009.
