About this map

Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore dominate this coastal survey of the Outer Banks in Dare County. The landscape is a complex network of barrier islands and marshy features, including Pea Island and the northern reaches of Hatteras Island. This modern 2022 survey documents the shifting hydrography of the region, where narrow inlets and shoals like Loggerhead Inlet and Beach Slue segment the coastline.

Local landmarks such as Lagerhead Hills and the Sand Ridge provide topographic relief against the surrounding wetlands. The interior sounds and marshes are dotted with named features like Saint Clair Lump, Ira Lump, and Cat Island, illustrating the unique nomenclature used for the hammocks and high ground within the salt marshes. The North Pond Trl offers a glimpse into the recreational access within these protected coastal environments.
