Middle Bay and the vast Atlantic Ocean dominate this coastal quadrangle, which documents the fragile interface of land and sea in Carteret County. The shoreline is defined by a series of prominent marshy points, including Oyster Creek Point, Deep Point, and Middle Bay Point. To the south, the terrain fragments into smaller landforms such as Sow Island and Sow Island Point. This map provides a clear record of the maritime topography before further coastal shift, capturing the specific locations of Big Fishing Point, Canal Point, and the eponymous Little Fishing Point. The lack of inland development emphasizes the area's significance as a natural aquatic environment.
