Outer Banks, North Carolina: OBX
Discover the beauty of North Carolina's Outer Banks with our original, hand-drawn story map and unique gifts by Xplorer Maps Co-Founder, Chris Robitaille.
The OBX is a 200-mile stretch of barrier islands, home to stunning beaches, historic lighthouses, and a vibrant history. Once inhabited by the Croatan, Roanoke, and Lumbee tribes for over 1,000 years, OBX is also famous for the ill-fated Roanoke Colony of 1587—now known as ‘The Lost Colony.’
Explore the region’s rich maritime heritage at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, visit iconic lighthouses, or spot wild horses on Corolla Beach—each element captured in exquisite detail on our map.
