1982 Map of Point Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Point Harbor sits at the southern tip of the Currituck peninsula, where the waters of the Currituck Sound meet the Albemarle Sound. This 1982 orthophotomap provides a clear view of the thin finger of land that serves as the gateway to the Outer Banks, anchored by the long reach of the Wright Memorial Bridge. Small residential clusters and agricultural clearings are centered around the communities of Spot and Harbinger, while several unnamed Cem locations scattered throughout the interior offer potential leads for genealogists and local historians. The shoreline is characterized by marshy transitions, including the Tidal Flat near Hog Quarter Landing and the distinctive hook of Sampson Point. The presence of a Sandpit and a Radio Tower reflect the utility of the landscape during this era of coastal development.
