About this map

Ocracoke serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the village is tightly clustered around the harbor near Windmill Point. The maritime character of the Outer Banks is evident through critical infrastructure such as the Ocracoke Light House, the Ferry Office, and the United States Park Service Docks. Beyond the main village, the landscape transitions into the distinctive terrain of Jackson Dunes, The Plains, and First Hammock Hills.

Genealogists and local historians will find the British Cemetery and various residential pockets like Sound Shores and Pamlico Shores of particular interest. The map documents the protective role of the National Seashore-Ocracoke and the presence of federal facilities, including the United States Park Service Campgrounds. Coastal navigation is highlighted by markers such as the Teaches Hole Channel Light and Cockle Shoal Light, which guide vessels through Pamlico Sound.
