About this map

Stumpy Point serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated where the mainland of Dare County meets the expansive waters of Pamlico Sound. This fishing village's community identity is anchored by the Shiloh Methodist Church and the adjacent Shiloh Methodist Church Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of this maritime settlement. The map highlights the complex interface between land and water, defined by numerous geographic projections such as Old Point, Drain Point, and Wild Boar Point that reach into the sound.

While the primary residential area is clustered along the shoreline, the surrounding terrain is largely composed of wetlands and small inlets like Stumpy Point Bay and Sandy Bay. The infrastructure is minimal, centered on local route 1100, which provides the single land connection to this relatively isolated coastal pocket. The concentration of landmarks within the village contrasted with the undeveloped points of land illustrates a landscape shaped more by the rhythms of the sound than by modern expansion.
