1985 Map of Manteo

About this map

The Outer Banks of North Carolina, as documented in the mid-1980s, reveal a landscape defined by the thin barrier between the Atlantic and several large sounds. On Roanoke Island, the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site and the landmark Mother Vineyard near Manteo sit at the cultural heart of the region. The map shows the sprawling Cape Hatteras National Seashore stretching south through Rodanthe and Salvo, encompassing the critical Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge.
