About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this maritime survey, revealing the critical navigational routes and coastal landforms off the North Carolina coast. The map delineates the maritime boundary of the Cape Lookout National Seashore, specifically highlighting the small landmasses of the Kathryne Jane Islands at the southern edge. This 2022 survey captures the modern transit patterns of the Outer Banks, marking the established path of the Cedar Island - Ocracoke Ferry and the Vehicle Ferry Trl as they cross the open water. Submerged features like Kingfish Shoal and Hog Island Reef indicate the complex underwater topography that has historically challenged sailors in these waters, serving as essential reference points for local history and maritime research.
