2022 Map of Roanoke Island NE

About this map

The Outer Banks narrow into a thin corridor of sand and marshland in this coastal survey, where the town of Nags Head transitions into the protected landscape of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The geography is defined by a complex network of small islands and marshy outcrops, including Bodie Island and the Bodie Island Marshes, which buffer the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean. To the west, the expansive Roanoke Sound is dotted with family-named features like Bells Island, Grun Island, and House Island, illustrating the fragmented nature of the sound-side topography.
