1954 Map of Knotts Island

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The border of Virginia and North Carolina bisects this mid-century maritime landscape, where the secluded settlement of Knotts Island is anchored between the Back Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. This 1954 revision details a region defined by complex aquatic channels and expansive marshes, such as the Great Marsh and Fruitville area. Accessible via a prominent Causeway crossing from the west, the island community features the Knotts Island Church and several local cemeteries, serving as a vital hub in a territory shared between Princess Anne and Currituck counties.
