About this map

Bodie Island Lighthouse stands as the primary landmark on this maritime map of the Outer Banks, marking the narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the sprawling waters of Roanoke Sound and Pamlico Sound. This coastal landscape is defined by the Oregon Inlet, a dynamic waterway spanned by the Herbert C Bonner Bridge, which connects the southern reaches of the Cape Hatteras Natl Seashore to the northern tip of Pea Island.

The map reveals a complex network of marshes and smaller landforms such as Tommy Hammock, Duck Island, and Off Island. Near the northern portion of the sheet, local maritime activity is centered around Mill Landing and Thicket Lump Marina. Along the oceanfront, the geography transitions from Coquina Beach to the Coquina Bench, highlighting the shifting sands and recreational nature of this narrow barrier island environment.
