About this map

Ocracoke Island centers this coastal survey, where the village of Outer Banks sits at the southwestern tip of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. This barrier island landscape is defined by the proximity of the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, joined by the navigational waters of Teaches Hole Channel and Silver Lake. The map reveals a tight-knit community layout with streets like Back Rd and Jackson Cir serving local residences and institutions, including the British Cem and multiple locations marked as Ch.

Beyond the village center, the geography transitions into a series of named wetlands and dunes, such as First Grass, The Plains, and the First Hammock Hills. These features, along with Gap Point and Horsepen Point, indicate a dynamic shoreline shaped by the tides of the Old Slough. Modern transit is represented by the Ocracoke Island Airport and ferry routes including the Ocracoke - Swan Quarter Ferry, which remain vital links to this maritime environment.
