2019 Map of Long Shoal Point OE E

About this map

Parched Corn Point stands as a lonely terrestrial marker in this coastal reach of Dare County. This 2019 survey focuses on the maritime interface of the Outer Banks region, where the shallow waters of Sandy Bay meet the sound. The map is primarily an aquatic study, highlighting the shifting bathymetry and wetland edges of the North Carolina coast. Researchers of coastal erosion and maritime history will find this a precise record of the shoreline's configuration in the late 2010s, capturing the specific landforms that define this section of the sound before further natural transformation.
