About this map

Bogue Sound separates the coastal barrier island from the mainland in this detailed 2013 survey of the North Carolina coast. The narrow strip of land between Onslow Bay and the sound features the distinct communities of Salter Path, Indian Beach, and Emerald Isle, where development is concentrated along the shoreline. Numerous small islands, including Cat Island, Wood Island, and Bean Island, dot the protected waters of the sound, illustrating the complex maritime geography of the region.

On the mainland, the landscape is defined by a network of drainage creeks such as Gales Cr and Broad Creek, which flow south toward the sound. Settlements like Rollingwood Acres, Foxlair, and Broad Creek are situated among these waterways, while the Circle P Farm Airport serves as a small aviation landmark in the northern interior. This map documents the dense residential street networks that have emerged along the coast, contrasting with the more forested and rural character of the land north of Patsy Pond.
