1950 Map of Portsmouth

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The maritime village of Portsmouth anchors this 1950 survey, which captures the complex island and inlet geography where Pamlico Sound meets the Atlantic Ocean. Situated on the northern tip of Portsmouth Island, the settlement is documented with specific landmarks including a Cupola and Spire, alongside the natural harbor formed by Casey Bay and the Baymarsh Thorofare. The map records a landscape in transition, with a ferry route crossing the sound and a telephone line stretching down the narrow barrier island.
