1951 Map of Long Shoal Point

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Pamlico Sound dominates this mid-century coastal survey, illustrating the intricate marshland and water systems at the border of Dare and Hyde Counties. The landscape is defined by its coastal points and secluded bays, including Pains Bay and Parched Corn Bay. A lone Lookout Tower stands near the northern edge, a vital landmark in an area characterized more by water than solid ground. Small islands and navigational aids like Rawls Island and various lights assist in traversing the Long Shoal River. The inclusion of historical hydrography from the late 19th century alongside 1940s aerial photography provides a layered perspective on the shifting shorelines of Pains Point and Long Shoal Point, highlighting the transient nature of the North Carolina coast before significant modern development.
