About this map

Roanoke Island serves as the central focus of this coastal study, positioned between Roanoke Sound and Croatan Sound. The town of Manteo is the primary hub of activity, featuring the Turn Basin and the Ananias Dare Street Bridge spanning Doughs Creek. To the north, the commemorative landscape of Fort Raleigh City includes the Elizabethan Gardens and the site of the Mother Vineyard, reflecting the deep colonial roots of the Outer Banks.

Across the water, the barrier island landscape is defined by the massive dunes of Jockeys Ridge and the residential clusters of Sound Side. Nautical history and transport infrastructure are visible through features like the Old Ferry Dock near Weir Point and the long reach of the William B Umstead Memorial Bridge. The map also captures the aviation footprint of the region at both Manteo Airport and the Outer Banks Airport, while the shoreline is dotted with local landmarks such as Nags Head Pier and Ice Plant Island.
