2016 Map of Harkers Island

About this map

Harkers Island and the neighboring shoreline of Gloucester define this coastal landscape where the North River Channel meets the Core Sound. The map illustrates a complex network of maritime communities, including Straits, Marshallberg, and the northern reaches of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The geography is shaped by the narrow waterway of The Straits, which separates the mainland from the island, and the protective barrier of Shackleford Banks to the south.
