Knotts Island anchors this coastal survey, where a complex network of marshes, islands, and narrow channels defines the boundary between the Back Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement pattern is largely shaped by the aquatic landscape, centered around the Knotts Island Post Office and the small community at Woodleigh. Local roads like Knotts Island Rd and Island Bay Ln provide the primary terrestrial connections through the low-lying peninsula, while numerous points of access such as Public Landing, False Cape Landing, and Campbells Landing emphasize the historical importance of water-based transport and fishing.
