About this map

Knotts Island anchors this coastal environment, straddling the state line between North Carolina and Virginia. The landscape is a complex network of waterways and marshlands, including the Great Marsh and Back Bay, where terrestrial life meets the Atlantic Ocean. Local infrastructure is concentrated along the Marsh Cswy and Knotts Island Rd, providing access to small settlements like Corys and the residential fringes of the Outer Banks.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the mapping of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, such as the Knotts Island Cem and numerous named points like Simpson Neck and Morse Point. The map also details the island-rich waters of Knotts Island Bay, featuring Mackay Island and Deal Island, illustrating how the region's geography dictates movement and settlement patterns along the Currituck Sound.
