1953 Map of Manteo
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Roanoke Island serves as the central focus of this coastal survey, where the town of Manteo anchors the eastern shore against Shallowbag Bay. The map documents a landscape deeply intertwined with early American history, highlighting the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site and the Burnside Headquarters near the island's northern end. These landmarks, alongside the legendary Mother Vineyard, emphasize the area's long-standing cultural roots. On the outer banks, Bodie Island shows the shifting landscape of Jockeys Ridge State Park, where landmarks like Engagement Hill and the Seven Sisters rise above the Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
