About Ocean Isle
The “Gem of the Brunswick Islands” enjoys gentle surf, warm water, and mild currents. After crossing the bridge from the mainland, the island’s residents and visitors have access to a fishing pier, public boat launch, the Intracoastal Waterway, and beach paths every five hundred feet. Ocean Isle was incorporated as a town in 1959 (this map is from 1950, before development). In 2008, it won the Best Restored Beach Award.

Returns and Refunds

Process
I use precise digital elevation models (DEMs) to create shaded relief for every valley, ridge, peak, and river, which I add to vintage 1:24,000 topo maps from the United States Geological Survey. These historic maps were originally printed on a lithographic press and field-checked on foot, and they give each print a natural, authentic feel.
Commission a Personal Map
If I don't have a map for a trail or place you love, you can commission a personal map. You can also vote for the next map.
Legal Disclaimer
My maps are for illustrative purposes only. Although almost all the natural features are accurate, historic USGS maps are of varying age, reliability, and resolution, glaciers and routes above treeline change frequently. These prints should not be used for navigation, land ownership claims, or up-to-date information about public access.
An amazing map with exactly the right data and art work. Nothing else like this exists. Completely unique.
