2022 Map of Shallotte OE S

About this map

Tubbs Inlet serves as a critical geographic divide on this coastal sheet, separating the shifting sands of Sunset Beach from the eastern reach of Ocean Isle Beach. The map focuses primarily on the maritime expanse of Atlantic Ocean and Long Bay, where the coastline of Brunswick County meets the sea. Along the narrow barrier island, the early 21st-century residential footprint is established along corridors like N Shore Dr and Main St E. This particular survey captures the shoreline before significant modern environmental shifts or further coastal development, providing a baseline for studying the littoral drift and inlet migration characteristic of this North Carolina strand.
