Hatteras Island dominates this 2019 survey, illustrating the fragile landforms of the Outer Banks between the Atlantic Ocean and the inner sounds. The map traces the Tri-Villages of Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo, where residential streets like Sea-Haven Dr and Sudie Payne Rd are concentrated along the narrow ribbon of land. To the north, the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge preserves the landscape of Pea Island, while the southern reaches fall within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. This documentation of the shoreline reveals the intricate marshlands and points on the sound side, including Aunt Phoebes Marsh, Midgett Cove, and Davids Point. The presence of features like Wimble Shoals and the shifting channels around No Ache Island underscore the dynamic maritime environment that defines this thin barrier island chain.
