About this map

Bogue Sound separates the mainland Carteret County coastline from the narrow barrier island communities of the Crystal Coast in this 2011 survey. The coastal landscape is defined by the thin strip of land containing Emerald Isle, Indian Beach, and the historic village of Salter Path. These settlements are situated between the sound and the Atlantic Ocean, showing a dense pattern of residential streets like Ocean Dr and Bogue Sound Dr.

On the mainland, the terrain is characterized by intricate tidal creek systems including Gales Creek and Broad Creek, which feed into the sound. Notable landmarks such as Patsy Pond and small islands like Wood Island and the Dog Islands provide a detailed look at the estuarine environment. Inland, the map documents the growth of neighborhoods like Rollingwood Acres and Foxlair alongside the established community of Ocean.
