2011 Map of Long Shoal Point

About this map

Pamlico Sound dominates this coastal landscape, where the waters of the Inner Banks meet a series of low-lying points and marshy inlets in Dare County. The shoreline is defined by geographical markers such as Pains Point and Long Shoal Point, highlighting a terrain where land and water are in constant transition. Small waterways like Muddy Creek and Pains Creek drain into the sound, creating a network of tidal flows that characterize this part of the North Carolina coast. The presence of Rawls Island and Rawls Point suggests a maritime geography where local navigation and fishing are central to the area's identity. Further north, the curiously named Parched Corn Point sits near the edge of the sound, marking a shoreline that has long been subject to the changing tides and weather patterns of the Atlantic coast.
