About this map

Bogue Sound serves as the central corridor of this coastal survey, separating the mainland settlements from the undeveloped reaches of Bogue Banks. On the northern shore, the Atlantic and East Carolina railroad connects the small communities of Wildwood and Mansfield, passing through the wooded margins of the Croatan National Forest and Hull Swamp. This map reflects the mid-century transition of the area toward seasonal recreation and maritime activity, evidenced by the presence of Camp Morehead, a Boys Camp, and a Golf Course near the Newport River. Along the sound, maritime infrastructure is prominent, with various daybeacons marking the Intracoastal Waterway and small docks at Willis Landing and Hoop Pole Landing providing access to the fishing grounds of Onslow Bay. The eastern edge captures the fringes of Morehead City and the localized settlement at Wallace.
