1999 Map of Point Harbor

About this map

Point Harbor sits at the southern tip of the Currituck peninsula, marking the critical junction where the Currituck Sound meets the Albemarle Sound. This 1999 inspection reflects the late-century configuration of the Outer Banks access points, anchored by the massive Wright Memorial Bridge stretching eastward toward the coast. The landscape is a mix of maritime forests and wetlands, with several small settlements such as Harbinger and Spot lining the interior highway. Local history is preserved in the location of Piney Grove Ch and several small clusters of Cemeteries near Powells Point. The shoreline is deeply indented with coastal features like Hog Quarter Landing and Sampson Point, illustrating the area's historical reliance on water access before modern bridge infrastructure dominated the geography.
