About this map

The narrow Outer Banks ribbon between the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound is defined here by the established coastal communities of Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense residential grid of the barrier island, reaching from the northern stretches of Kitty Hawk Beach down to the commemorative landscape around Kill Devil Hill. The area's aviation legacy is anchored by the First Flight Airport, situated just west of the developed shoreline.

Beyond the primary beach settlements, the map details the complex estuarine environment of Kitty Hawk Bay and Colington Creek. Subdivisions such as Eagleton and Colington occupy the finger-like peninsulas and islands, including Colington Island and Baum Point Island, where the land meets the shallow waters of Blount Bay. Landmarks like the Kitty Hawk Pier and Avalon Pier mark the oceanfront, while local infrastructure such as the Kill Devil Hills Water Tank and the WBNM Tower serve as modern navigational points for the region.
