Topsail Island and its surrounding coastal waterways dominate this 2013 survey of the North Carolina shore. The map details the residential expansion and infrastructure of North Topsail Beach and Ocean City Beach, where a grid of coastal roads like Topsail Ave and Ocean Dr navigate the narrow barrier island. The interior shoreline is defined by a complex network of marshes and bays, including Spicer Bay and Stump Sound, which separate the mainland from the sea.
