2013 Map of Long Shoal Point OE E

About this map

Pamlico Sound dominates this coastal survey of the Dare County coastline, where the land and water interface is defined by shifting shoals and isolated points. The northwestern corner of the quadrangle reveals the distinctive landform of Parched Corn Point, a remote finger of land extending into the sound. Just to the north, the protected waters of Sandy Bay provide a rare indentation in the shoreline. This digital-era map focuses heavily on the hydrography of the outer banks region, documenting the exact contours of the coastline and the vast expanse of the sound as they appeared in 2013. The absence of roads or structures on this specific sheet emphasizes the preservation of the coastal environment at the edge of the mainland.
