2013 Map of North Bay

About this map

Cedar Island serves as the terminal hub for coastal transit on this section of the Outer Banks, where maritime life and transportation intersect. The map traces the critical Ocracoke-Cedar Island - Ferry Crossing route, which links the mainland via the Ferry Landing at the Head of Bay. This landscape is defined by its shifting sands and intricate waterways, featuring prominent coastal landmarks such as Point of Grass, Raymond Sand, and the Goodwin Hills. Beyond the residential and transit infrastructure of Sound View Dr, the environment dissolves into a complex system of marshes and smaller landmasses. Researchers can trace the hydrography of the sound side, identifying North Bay and the narrow passages of Snake Gut, Fullers Ditch, and Deep Slough that wind through Hog Island and Hunting Island.
