1955 Map of Wanchese
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Roanoke Island serves as a central hub in this coastal survey, featuring the settlements of Manteo and Wanchese at the meeting of Roanoke Sound and Croatan Sound. The Outer Banks are shown as a thin, continuous thread of land stretching from Bodie Island south through Pea Island and Hatteras Island to Ocracoke Island. Along this precarious coastline, the Cape Hatteras Light and multiple Coast Guard Station outposts signify the maritime importance of the region during the mid-1950s.
