1951 Map of Salter Path

About this map

Bogue Banks stretches across this mid-century survey, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the expansive Bogue Sound. The barrier island shows early development at Emerald Isle and the established fishing village of Salter Path, while interior landmarks like Yellow Hill Landing and Rices Path hint at the local maritime history of the Outer Banks. North of the sound, the landscape is defined by the Croatan National Forest, where numerous drainage prongs like East Prong and West Prong feed into the Broad Creek estuary.
