How to Use This Currituck, North Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Currituck, 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 Currituck.
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.

About Currituck, North Carolina
Currituck is a locality in Currituck County, North Carolina, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,600. The population density is 35.0 people per km². Currituck is located at 35.1654°N, 80.8706°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 28210, 27929.Currituck manifests as a low-lying expanse where the horizon stretches thin and flat against the vast, salt-heavy expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 16.9 miles northeast of Elizabeth City, NC (from Elizabeth City, NC: bearing 51°T), and is situated 10.4 miles east-southeast of Moyock. The land here is defined by a porous, maritime stillness, where the wind carries the damp scent of the tides across salt marshes and flat, sandy soil that feels brittle underfoot. Far to the west, the faint, hazy suggestion of Sand Ridge provides a distant boundary to a landscape dominated by the sky’s shifting palette of bruised purples and pale, morning grays. The proximity to the water dictates the rhythm of the light, which catches on the surface of Tull Creek, turning the slow-moving water into a shimmering ribbon of tarnished silver as it snakes through the brush.
Currituck carries the weight of a long agricultural heritage, where the soil once yielded to the persistent labor of those who cleared the woods to build a life between the water and the field. Today, the economy leans into the quiet necessity of local commerce and the seasonal pulse of visitors drawn to the nearby Currituck County Park, a space that preserves the wild, untamed character of the shore. Life moves with the deliberate pace of the tides, often centering on the small, singular landmarks like the distant Bell Island or the quiet solitude of Indian Pond. Even the air feels occupied by the memory of earlier generations, whose industry shaped the character of the region long before the modern era brought its own quiet adjustments to the steady, brackish landscape.

About This Currituck Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Currituck, North Carolina. Coordinates: 35.165422, -80.870628. 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 Currituck includes the ZIP code (28210, 27929), telephone area code (704, 980, 919, 984), county seat of Currituck County (Currituck), and school district assignment.
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.
