About this map

Albemarle Sound dominates the northern horizon of this coastal landscape, where the intricate transition between open water and the mainland is defined by a series of points and tidal inlets. The small settlement of Mashoes sits on a narrow peninsula near Caroon Point, connected to the interior only by Mashoes Rd and Cahoon Rd. This low-lying geography is characterized by numerous "guts" and narrow waterways such as Poster Gut, Gar Gut, and Liehue Gut that drain into the larger basins of East Lake and South Lake.

Further south, the community of Manns Harbor serves as a more developed hub near the intersection of several regional routes. The map records the specific coastal profile of the area before modern changes, documenting landmarks like Haulover Point and Reeds Point. The presence of Davis Pond and the Northeast Prong illustrates a landscape where the boundary between land and sea is constantly negotiated by the winding hydrology of the Outer Banks region.
