2011 Map of Long Shoal Point OE E

About this map

Pamlico Sound dominates this coastal survey, where the waters of the Inner Banks meet the northwestern edge of the Outer Banks region. The map is defined by the expansive aquatic geography of Dare County, focusing on the open water and the subtle shoreline features that characterize this maritime environment. A singular landform, Parched Corn Point, extends into the sound at the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, serving as the primary navigational landmark on this portion of the coast. This 2011 survey focuses on the hydrography and shoreline as they existed at the start of the decade, capturing the precise location of this distinctive point of land before further coastal erosion or shifting tides altered the sound's edge.
