2016 Map of Hatteras

About this map

Hatteras Island forms the backbone of this coastal survey, documenting the thin ribbon of the Outer Banks between the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound. This 2016 snapshot captures the local infrastructure and natural landmarks of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, where the narrow landscape is dominated by tidal features like The Slash, Duck Ponds, and Isaac Ponds. The settlements of Hatteras and Frisco are mapped in detail, showing their orientation along the island's single main thoroughfare and local connectors like Eagle Pass Rd and Lighthouse Rd. The map also traces the essential transit link of the Hatteras - Ocracoke Ferry crossing from the southwestern tip at Inlet Peninsula. Navigation hazards and coastal terrain are identified by name, including Oliver Reef, Austin Reef, and Durant Point, reflecting the maritime character of this exposed barrier island environment.
