Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach occupy the narrow coastal strand at the northern edge of this maritime survey, where the Atlantic shoreline meets the North Carolina coast. The map captures the delicate interface of the Atlantic Ocean and the mainland, centered on the waters of Long Bay and the tidal opening of Tubbs Inlet. Landward features are concentrated along the barrier island, including Bald Beach and the coastal corridor of N Shore Dr, providing a focused view of the beachfront layout before the sea dominates the southern three-quarters of the sheet. This 2016 survey documents the precise coastal boundaries of Brunswick Co during a period of modern development along these popular southern beaches.
