About this map

The coastal boundary between Virginia and North Carolina defines this 2016 survey of the Currituck County coastline. The landscape is dominated by the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean and the narrow strip of barrier island terrain where the settlement of Sand Ridge sits. This area, known for its isolation, shows a grid of local roads named for coastal life, including Sandfiddler Rd, Ocean Pearl Rd, and Bonita Ln.

A network of local routes like Carova Rd and False Cape Rd provides the primary infrastructure for this remote stretch of the Outer Banks. The map clearly delineates the maritime border, tracing the Virginia state line as it extends into the Atlantic. For researchers and property historians, the detailed labeling of small lanes such as Shark Ln and Mallard Ln offers a precise look at the residential development of this unique shoreline environment before more recent changes.
