A geographic representation used for navigation, exploration, or property assessment focused on a specific coastal location, identifies roads, waterways, landmarks, and points of interest on and around a particular barrier island along the North Carolina coast. An example includes a chart detailing the topography and infrastructure of the island, potentially used by tourists, residents, or emergency services personnel.
Such cartographic depictions are vital for understanding the island’s spatial layout, assisting in property location and management, and facilitating tourism and emergency response efforts. Historically, maps have played a crucial role in the island’s development, guiding settlement, resource management, and the persistent search for rumored buried treasure.
