About this map

Harkers Island and the neighboring mainland communities of Gloucester and Marshallberg define this coastal landscape where the Core Sound meets Back Sound. The intricate coastline is dotted with family-named landforms like Gaskill Point and Black Hammock Point, reflecting the deep maritime heritage of eastern Carteret County. To the south, the protective barrier of Shackleford Banks and the Cape Lookout National Seashore shield the inner sounds from the Atlantic Ocean.

A network of local roads such as Marshallberg Rd and Harkers Island Rd connects small settlements like Straits and Tusk. The map reveals specialized coastal features including Diamond City Hills and the Victoria Cem near Marshallberg, offering a detailed look at the interface between land and sea. Natural landmarks like Sam Winsors Lump and Hard Working Lumps highlight the shifting topography of the marshes and shoals that have long influenced navigation and fishing in these waters.
