1954 Map of Knotts Island

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Knotts Island anchors this coastal landscape where the border between Virginia and North Carolina cuts through the marshy expanse of Knotts Island Bay. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways and low-lying landforms, from the open waters of Back Bay to the protective barrier of False Cape along the Atlantic Ocean. The presence of the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge underscores the importance of this ecosystem, which is characterized by a labyrinth of islands like Big Ball Island and Deal Island separated by narrow channels such as Porpoise Slough.
