2016 Map of Long Shoal Point OE E

About this map

Parched Corn Point and the waters of Sandy Bay define the northwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial edge of Dare County meets the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. This map documents a transitional aquatic landscape dominated by open water and shoals, capturing the fragile shoreline of the Outer Banks region as it existed in 2016. The presence of these specific coastal landmarks provides a precise reference point for tracking shoreline changes and the movement of coastal sediments in a geography defined by the relentless meeting of land and sea.
