2016 Map of Little Kinnakeet

About this map

Hatteras Island forms a narrow barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the sound-side waters in this modern survey of the North Carolina coast. The landscape is dominated by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, preserving the delicate environment of the Outer Banks. Near the center of this coastal strip, Little Kinnakeet sits as a notable point of interest, flanked by marshy inlets and small islands. The sound side of the island is highly articulated with features such as Gull Island Bay, Phipps Cove, and the Drain Islands. The mapping reflects the dynamic nature of these coastal boundaries, where names like The Drain and Bog Opening suggest the shifting water and marsh patterns of the Dare County shoreline.
