2016 Map of Wanchese

About this map

Roanoke Island anchors this coastal survey, where the southern tip of the island transitions into the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound. On the eastern shore, the settlement of Wanchese is defined by a dense network of local roads including Old Wharf Rd and Harbor Rd, which serve the maritime community near Oyster Creek. This area of the Outer Banks represents a landscape where the land is deeply integrated with the water, as seen in the protected reaches of Cedar Bush Bay and the channel known as Cut Through.
