About this map

Jarvisburg and Powells Point anchor the mainland peninsula between the North River and the sound, illustrating a landscape defined by its connection to the water. This 2010 survey highlights the contrast between the established mainland communities and the dense residential development along the barrier beach. The eastern strip, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the sound, is a continuous chain of named subdivisions and locales, including Duck, Sanderling, and Caffys Inlet Hamlet.

Along the western shore of the sound, a series of historic landings such as Newbern Landing, Waltons Landing, and Gallop Landing suggest the long-standing maritime economy of Currituck Sound. The interior mainland remains relatively open, with roads like Camp Ground Rd and Forbes Rd connecting smaller settlements like Olds and Mamie. To the north, Walnut Island and Dews Island sit in the shallow waters, emphasizing the complex estuarine geography of the North Carolina coast.
