How to Use This Bogue, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bogue, North Carolina. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Bogue.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Bogue occupies a low-lying stretch of land where the humid, salt-heavy air of the Atlantic Ocean defines the very breath of the landscape. It lies 14.6 miles south-southwest of Havelock, NC (from Havelock, NC: bearing 212°T), and is situated 4.7 miles east of Swansboro. Hunting Island Creek winds its way through the terrain, a dark, pulsing artery that draws the tide deep into the soil and sustains the dense, tangled greenery of the nearby Croatan National Forest. Beyond the immediate canopy, the horizon remains flat and expansive, an unyielding line where the sky bleeds into the earth. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, bruised quality, turning the marsh grasses into shards of copper against the cooling gray of the water.

Bogue persists as a place forged by the quiet commerce of the coast, where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the ebb and flow of the tide rather than the frantic pace of distant urban centers. Long ago, the economy leaned heavily on the bounty gathered from the water and the timber harvested from the nearby woods, a legacy that remains visible in the modest, weather-beaten structures that dot the shoreline. While the distant profile of Davis Ridge remains a mere phantom of geology far to the west, the local identity is anchored firmly to the immediate geography of Hunting Island and the surrounding wetlands. Residents here carry a reserved, deliberate manner, moving with the steady confidence of those who have learned to navigate the narrow channels of a life lived close to the sea.

About This Bogue Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bogue, North Carolina. Coordinates: 34.691677, -77.028471. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Bogue includes the ZIP code (28570), telephone area code (910), county seat of Carteret County (Beaufort), and school district assignment (Carteret County Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
