2016 Map of Little Fishing Point

About this map

Little Fishing Point and the surrounding coastline of Middle Bay characterize this coastal survey at the boundary of Pamlico and Carteret counties. The landscape is defined by its numerous marshes and points, including Big Fishing Point and Sow Island Point, which stretch into the waters of Little Fishing Bay. These features demonstrate the shifting coastal geography of the North Carolina sound, where the maritime environment dictated local navigation and land use. Isolated landmarks such as Sow Island sit near the shore, while the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound dominates the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle. This map serves as a record of the intricate shoreline before further modern coastal changes, capturing the specific locations of Oyster Creek Point and Deep Point.
