About this map

Jarvisburg and the surrounding neck of land in Currituck County are documented in this orthophotomap, which combines traditional topographic data with aerial photography. This perspective highlights the concentrated agricultural fields and residential corridors along the mainland, contrasting sharply with the extensive Tidal Flats and marshy fringes of the Currituck Sound. Along the narrow barrier beach to the east, the settlement of Caffey and a Landing Strip stand between the sound and the Atlantic Ocean.

Local landmarks including Hebron Ch and Pleasant Branch Ch serve as focal points for the rural communities of Olds, Corinth, and Mamie. The map reveals the intricate network of water features like Dowdy Bay and Webster Cr that define the shoreline, while the numerous unmarked cemeteries (recorded as Cem) throughout the mainland provide valuable clues for genealogists and local historians tracing the families of this coastal region.
