About this map

Stumpy Point occupies a narrow strip of land along the western edge of the Pamlico Sound, defined by its intimate relationship with the water and the surrounding wetlands. This coastal village is anchored by the Shiloh Methodist Church Cem, a central landmark for local genealogy and community history. The geography of the shoreline is marked by numerous distinctive landforms, including Old Point and Drain Point near the main settlement, and further south, the remote reaches of Wild Boar Point and Sandy Point.

As part of this maritime landscape, Stumpy Point Bay and Sandy Bay offer sheltered waters behind the outer banks. The layout of the area, centered along road 1100, reflects a settlement pattern adapted to the high water table and the sprawling marshlands of Dare County. This survey provides a precise look at the interface between the village and the sound before the shifting tides and environmental changes typical of this region further alter the coastline.
