About this map

The Outer Banks barrier island system is the primary focus of this coastal survey, highlighting the residential and recreational development of the northern North Carolina coast. The town of Southern Shores occupies a significant portion of the narrow landmass, defined by an intricate network of residential streets including Ocean Blvd, Duck Rd, and Sea Oats Trl. To the north, the settlement of Duck is shown at a point where the island begins to widen slightly, while Martin Point marks a distinct geographic feature on the sound side of the peninsula.

The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean dominates the eastern half of the map, illustrating the island's exposure to the sea. The boundary between Currituck and Dare Counties is traced across the water and land, providing a clear reference for administrative divisions in this vacation-oriented region. This 2019 edition effectively shows the modern footprint of these coastal communities before further shifts in shoreline or development occurred.
