1940 Map of Powells Point

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Currituck Sound and the North River converge at the southern tip of the mainland in this 1940s-era coastal study. The peninsula is anchored by a string of small settlements along the central roadway, including Jarvisburg, Powells Point, and Harbinger. This area reflects the maritime and agricultural life of the Outer Banks region just as the Wright Memorial Bridge began to transform the local economy by providing a direct link across the sound to the coast.
