2013 Map of Rodanthe

About this map

Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo anchor this thin strip of the Outer Banks, where the land is narrowed between the Atlantic Ocean and the expansive Pamlico Sound. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense residential street networks of these coastal communities, including local thoroughfares like Sea Oats Dr and S Holiday Blvd. The map highlights a fragile geography defined by water, from the shifting sands of Wimble Shoals to the protected pockets of Midgett Cove and No Ache Bay. Small landings and points, such as Uncle Jimmys Landing and Davids Point, reveal the area's long-standing reliance on water access. The naming of features like Midgett Island and No Ache Island reflects the local nomenclature and distinct maritime identity of this section of the Dare County coast.
