Rodanthe and the tight-knit settlements of the Outer Banks occupy a narrow, shifting ribbon of sand between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pamlico Sound. This 2011 survey documents the fragile geography of Hatteras Island, where the landscape is defined by small islands and sound-side landings. Named points of land such as Greens Point, Davids Point, and Green Point indicate the historic reliance on the sound for transport and livelihood, while the offshore Wimble Shoals and Steeple suggest the hidden hazards just off the Atlantic coast.
