1950 Map of Horsepen Point

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Core Banks forms a narrow, protective barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate marshlands of Core Sound in this mid-century coastal study. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tidal creeks and small islands, including Lewis Island, Horse Island, and Cowpen Island, which suggest a long history of maritime use and seasonal grazing. Cultural imprints are sparse on this stretch of the Outer Banks, noted primarily by a solitary telephone line following the shoreline and various lights marking the navigable waters.
