About this map

Bogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway separate the mainland settlements of Mansfield and Wildwood from the barrier island developments along Bogue Banks. This mid-1990s revision reveals a landscape defined by conservation and recreation, where the Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area and Hoop Pole Woods preserve pockets of maritime forest amidst the expanding residential footprints of Pine Knoll Shores and Atlantic Beach.

On the mainland, the Croatan National Forest borders Mud Swamp, illustrating the transition from managed timberlands to the coastal estuary. Local navigation is marked by numerous daybeacons and landings, including Willis Landing and Hoop Pole Landing. The map also captures institutional landmarks like the N C Marine Resources Center and the Morehead City Country Club, documenting the coastal infrastructure as it existed before late-twentieth-century shifts in shoreline management.
