1957 Map of Manteo

About this map

The barrier islands of the Outer Banks stretch across this mid-century survey, defining the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the expansive waters of Pamlico Sound and Albemarle Sound. The map focuses on the delicate landscape of Bodie Island, Hatteras Island, and Ocracoke Island, where conservation efforts are evident through the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. Historical and maritime landmarks punctuate the coast, from the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse near Cape Hatteras to the Fort Raleigh NHS on Roanoke Island.
