2022 Map of Long Shoal Point OE E

About this map

Parched Corn Point and Sandy Bay define the coastal landscape of this portion of North Carolina's Outer Banks region. As a map dominated by the open waters of the Pamlico Sound, it focuses on the delicate interface where land meets the sound. This specific area, charted as part of a 2022 survey, illustrates the sparse and low-lying nature of the shoreline in Dare County. The absence of roads or structures indicates a highly protected or naturally resilient environment, where names like Parched Corn Point hint at the local maritime history and geography of the banks.
