About this map

The narrow barrier island and coastal marshlands of the Outer Banks define this landscape, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the complex waterways of Currituck County and Dare County. Along the Currituck Sound peninsula, the historic communities of Jarvisburg, Olds, Powells Point, and Mamie follow the corridor of Highway 158. These settlements are interspersed with landmarks of local lineage such as the Barco Family Cemetery and the Corinth Baptist Church Cemetery.

A network of shallow bays and islands, including Dowdy Bay and Thorofare Island, separates the mainland from the slender coastal strip. On the oceanfront, the village of Duck represents the modern residential development characteristic of the Outer Banks, featuring dense neighborhood grids like those at Sand Banks. Regional aviation is supported by small airstrips including Cotton Gin Airport and Pine Island Airport, highlighting the area's continued reliance on specialized transport across this maritime terrain.
