2016 Map of Point Harbor

About this map

Point Harbor sits at the southern tip of the Currituck County peninsula, serving as a critical gateway where the Wright Memorial Bridge spans the waters to connect the mainland with the Outer Banks. This coastal landscape is defined by its relationship with the Albemarle Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, with small settlements like Harbinger and Spot lining the narrow corridor of land. The map reveals a transition from traditional coastal life to modern recreational development, evidenced by the proximity of the Pointe Golf Club to established landmarks like Powells Point and Halls Harbor. Local topography is largely defined by low-lying points and marshy islands, including Brock Island and Pig Point, which shape the western shoreline of this barrier-adjacent peninsula. The road network, including Halls Harbor Rd and Owens Beach Rd, highlights the residential clusters that have formed along the sound side of the cape.
