2010 Map of Martin Point

About this map

Southern Shores occupies a narrow strip of coastal land on the Outer Banks, defined by a dense concentration of shoreline residential developments. This 2010 topographic record shows a landscape transformed into a series of distinct coastal communities including Bayberry Bluffs, Saltaire, and Poteskeet Village. The geography is characterized by a network of winding local roads such as Dogwood Trl and Hillcrest Dr, which navigate the stabilized dunes and maritime forest areas between the Atlantic Ocean and the sound. The presence of Martin Point at the southern edge suggests the transition toward more protected waters. This survey documents the mature state of modern coastal planning, where named subdivisions like Schooner Ridge and George Town Sands have established a continuous fabric of habitation along the vulnerable barrier island terrain.
