2016 Map of Manns Harbor

About this map

Manns Harbor and Mashoes anchor this coastal survey of the Dare County mainland, where the North Carolina sounds converge. The landscape is defined by the expansive Mashoes Marsh and the labyrinthine waterways of Spence Creek, Poster Gut, and Gar Gut. Connectivity to the Outer Banks is prominent through the William B Umstead Memorial Bridge and the Virginia Dare Memorial Brg, which span the waters of Croatan Sound. To the north, Durant Island and The Frying Pan mark the transition into the Albemarle Sound. The presence of Old Ferry Dock Rd reflects the area's maritime transportation history, while family-named landmarks like Caroon Point and Fleetwood Point provide specific points of interest for local genealogy and shoreline study.
