The narrow ribbon of Portsmouth Bank S stretches between the Atlantic Ocean and the sheltered waters of Core Sound in this mid-century coastal survey. This portion of the Outer Banks demonstrates the fragile relationship between land and sea, where a single Telephone Line serves as the only infrastructure connecting isolated maritime outposts. Notable human activity is centered at the Coast Guard Sta near Cross Shoal Channel and the Carteret Rod and Gun Club to the south.
