2013 Map of Rodanthe OE W

About this map

Pamlico Sound dominates the entirety of this coastal North Carolina perspective, providing a focused view of the expansive waters just west of the Outer Banks. This nautical expanse, documented in 2013 by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates a vast segment of the largest lagoon along the United States East Coast. Because this specific quadrangle covers a portion of the sound away from the immediate barrier island shoreline, it emphasizes the open-water environment that has long defined the maritime economy and ecology of Dare County. The map serves as a precise digital baseline for researchers studying the hydrography and shifting coastal boundaries of the region.
