Jarvisburg and the surrounding coastal corridor of Currituck County sit at the heart of this recent survey, showcasing the narrow peninsula between the sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement pattern follows the central roadway, connecting small communities like Grandy, Olds, and Powells Point. This landscape is defined by its relationship with the water, where marshy outlets like Tar Cove Marsh and various leads and bays segment the coast. On the western shore, the Cotton Gin Airport serves as a notable local landmark near Jarvisburg, while the eastern side of the map captures the residential expansion along the Outer Banks in Duck. Genealogy and local history are anchored by sites such as the Barco Family Cem and Corinth Baptist Church Cem, which offer a sense of the area's long-standing community roots amidst a modernizing coastal environment.
