2016 Map of Jarvisburg

About this map

Jarvisburg and the surrounding coastal communities of Currituck and Dare Counties occupy a narrow stretch of land between the Currituck Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. This 2016 survey illustrates the thin peninsula's geography, where maritime history and modern tourism meet. The village of Duck is established along the Outer Banks, a thin barrier island separated from the mainland settlements of Grandy and Powells Point by a series of shallow bays including Dowdy Bay and Pine Island Bay. Local landmarks like Doxeys Salthouse and the Cotton Gin Airport signify the mix of historical industry and transportation that has shaped this shoreline. The map also captures numerous islands within the marshes, such as Goose Island and Thorofare Island, highlighting the complex wetland ecosystem that defines the region’s topography and settlement patterns.
