2022 Map of Mansfield

About this map

Bogue Sound serves as the central geographic divide in this coastal survey, separating the mainland settlements of Morehead City and Brandywine Bay from the developed barrier island of Bogue Banks. The northern mainland shows a transition from the dense urban grid of Morehead City near Mansfield to the timbered outskirts of the Croatan National Forest and the community of Wildwood. This modern mapping captures a highly navigable maritime landscape, featuring the Intracostal Waterway and various estuaries like Spooner Cr and Hull Swamp. Along the oceanfront, the communities of Atlantic Beach, Pine Knoll Shores, and Indian Beach occupy the narrow strip of land between the sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The placement of Carteret Community College on the mainland shore highlights the area's role as a regional educational and cultural hub in Carteret County.
