About this map

The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean dominates this maritime survey off the coast of North Carolina. Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using 2009 imagery and 2010 naming data, this sheet focuses almost entirely on open water east of the barrier island shoreline. While it lacks terrestrial settlements or landmarks, it serves as a precise hydrographic and bathymetric record of the offshore environment during the early 21st century. The map depicts the transition from near-shore waters into the deeper ocean, providing a distinct perspective on the coastal shelf that borders Pender County.
